Abbeycare Foundation in Highfield, Dalry, Scotland launches new website boasting a 92% success rate - July 19, 2012
Forums:
The Abbeycare Foundation is located in Highfield, Dalry, Scotland at the Brownhill House and has launched a new website for those battling addiction and to bring in new customers claiming a 92% success rate.
Abbeycare 92% Successful Treatment Through Recovery
We have a 92% successful treatment through recovery rate here at Abbeycare, having monitored and analysed completion rates of our clients at Abbeycare alcohol treatment clinic .
Completion rates were highest for intensive inpatient alcohol treatment (92%). We have established that factors associated with treatment completion included a thorough screening and assessment at the point of admission, education, age, ethnicity, and existence of a secondary drug problem.
We have concluded that most importantly the fit between clients and treatment programs is the single most important factor in explaining why some clients complete treatment and others drop out.
That is why at Abbeycare we will work with the person to identify their needs and the best pathway for them on their own journey to recovery by offering the full variety of evidence based pathways.

Abbeycare announces "New Website For UK Alcohol Rehab Clinic Abbeycare Foundation" on 2012-07-19 15:16:58. The treatments outlined at Abbeycare are:
Specific services include:
Detox - During this initial stage, clients will go through a process of cleansing the body of alcohol. Proper nutrition, rest and gentle medication are used to help patients with withdrawal symptoms. Medical examinations are provided in order to create a safe and personalised detoxification programme for each client.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - This type of therapy gets to the root of certain thought processes and behaviours. Past experiences often shape the way a person thinks and behaves, and this type of therapy helps clients to understand and cope with these personal issues.
12 Step Alcohol Detox Recovery programme - This programme involves a series of three meetings each week. These meetings are designed to empower people in a supportive environment. Each step in the process has been designed to facilitate progress in recovery.
Alternative Therapies - Clients will also be able to enjoy other types of therapies during their stay. Specific treatments include massage therapy and reflexology.
Meditation - Mindfulness exercises allow clients to be aware of their thoughts and actions.
Aftercare - Following the 28-day programme, clients are encouraged to attend group aftercare meetings to share experiences during the transitional period and to get support from others.
Alcoholics Anonymous - Similar to the aftercare programme, these meetings offer support and a new network of friends in a safe environment.
Client Forum - This weekly session allows clients to discuss programme issues with staff.

It is unknown at this time if the staff at Abbeycare have the same demeanor as Bill from Sunrise Detox in the US and if they are not open to different ideas.

rigged numbers
They seem to be doing two things:
1. Conflate "completion rate" with success rate. They are not the same thing. Did they do a one-year follow-up to find out what the real success rate was? I think not.
2. Cherry-picking the incoming patients.
If you only let the winners into the program, you can create the illusion of a great success rate.

One year follow-up? One year
One year follow-up? One year solidifies sobriety?
They should follow up after five years, ten years, twenty years. One year in a lifetime doesn't give a true picture of the content or context of sobriety. Maybe these people haven't been around long enough to monitor their "success stories". Let's see how it shakes out in 2022.

One-year followup
RE: "They should follow up after five years, ten years, twenty years."
Oh, I quite agree. But that may be asking too much of the TC, and it's also too long to wait for answers. But even just one year of follow-up will reveal a lot. The vast majority of relapsers do so in less than a year.

What does minimum pricing
What does minimum pricing have to do with 12 Step treatment in Dalry? I am Scottish and thankfully I am not an alcoholic. I was subjected to the 12 Steps through Al-Anon and there's nothing makes a person more crazy. I have watched friends in AA fail repeatedly and have seen a lot of people's drinking get worse in AA. I do believe group therapy has its uses, but the 12 Steps are a joke. Regardless of what anyone thinks alcoholism is - those Steps are 12 Steps to insanity. Only a month ago I was the biggest supporter of 12 Step. What do you suppose happened? Like most of the people here, it suddenly dawned on me that something wasn't right. How many of us go back to deluded 12 Step? I'm going to take an educated guess and say 0%.

Good Question - Please Ask The Person Who Posted The Article
Good question. Please ask the person who posted the original article.
Linton says: "How many of us go back to deluded 12 Step? I'm going to take an educated guess and say 0%."
But you're still not free, because you keep going back to OPF over and over again and talking about AA this and AA that. When you can go an entire 24 hours in a day (then weeks, months, and years) without thinking, talking, and writing about AA, then you will be free,

When was my last post before
When was my last post before this? And the original article had nothing to do with minimum pricing. Some troll used the pricing article to prove a point, which point I'm not sure. And, yes, I do have a look here most days because I wish I'd known about OPF before I started my 12 Step journey and I like to support it . This information needs to be out there to allow people to make an informed decision. As for " AA this and AA that ", I'm pretty sure you've got me mixed up with someone else.

So how did it turn out,
So how did it turn out, Scottie, this Al Anon experiment? Why were you attending? Someone just wasn't acting right? Were you wounded or victimized by your participation? Did anyone force you to read the Ouija board or take LSD? Did you have to make the awful coffee? Did she ever quit drinking?

To borrow from your tactics alkie
But you're still not free, because you keep going back to alcohol over and over again and talking about alcohol this and alcohol that. When you can go an entire 24 hours in a day (then weeks, months, and years) without thinking, talking, and writing about alcohol, then you will be free,
But that's the problem with AA that you will never understand: that going there keeps your alcoholism alive and well and kicking and strong. And the biggest thing you will never understand it that we talk about AA to help others to make a safe exit from ineffective superstitious faith healing nonsense.
It requires some morals to understand why some people protest.

Hm. I was under the
Hm. I was under the impression that alkieanon was sober. I never read that he had actually gone back to alcohol. Please, causeandeffect, tell me where the post is where he admits to having gone back to drinking.
He doesn't claim to be free of AA. That's the point. You and your friends here who protest too much about the "freedom" you enjoy since you dumped AA is ludicrous. If anything, you are more involved in AA than you were before you quit going to meetings (and am I to understand that you have not quit going to meetings?) So much attention and time and effort and hand-wringing over Bill Wilson's ouija board and spiritism, and over Lois Wilson's adulterous husband, and over coercees in meetings, and over whether Rockefeller gave money to Bill Wilson and how much that money would be worth today, and over the publishing rights to the Big Book, and over who really wrote the 12 & 12, and over slogans and where the basket money from meetings go and what the criminal to drunk ratio is in any given meeting, and how no one is safe in a meeting - really, girl, it is the pinnacle of absurdity and you are a ringleader in fretting over shit you can't control and over people who are long dead and gone and couldn't give a fuck about what you think. The government doesn't care what you think. AA doesn't care what you think. I am guessing your community doesn't care what you think, and I wonder if even your loved ones care what you think, because you are rabid and rabid people turn sane people off.
It's your life to spend as you please. But on your deathbed I'll bet you find yourself wishing you had spent more time planting roses and less time jacking with allkieanon.
