Many alternative non 12 step rehab programs are using techniques like substance abuse counseling to treat their patients. Counseling is a very effective way to treat for abuse as psychiatrists try to reach the bottom/source of why abuse started in a first place. The treatment does not end with the diagnosis of the source, this is just the beginning. Psychiatrists also give advice on ways to cope with the underlying problem and monitor the progress of their patients. This has created a huge demand for Masters and PhD level psychology students in various drug centers to help patients with substance abuse counseling.
