Question by fisherman: Drug rehab: Do better results come from narcanon or 12-step type programs? Is religion behind your answer?
Our problem is a cocaine addiction. Does the 12-step program really demean the individual? Is the narcanon (Ron Hubbard) approach as good, better? Do you have personal experience?
