JEWISH DRUG REHAB CENTER

Thinking about Being  Jewish and  Addicted

A recent New York State Division of Substance Abuse reports states plainly what the Jewish community has been so reluctant to admit: as high a percentage of American Jews have addictions as any other cultural, religious, or ethnic group.

The program at Yatzkan Drug Rehab Web Site
 is the traditional AA 12-Step Program with a Jewish twist. On average, the program lasts 10 months and Rabbi Twerski?s program has a success rate of an amazing 80%, far above most other long-term residential facilities, and almost double that of the standard 28-day detox centers. Every Sunday there is a family counseling session where the entire family tries to work through the problems associated with drug abuse.
