AA-NOT THE ONLY WAY; Your One Stop Resource Guide to 12-Step AlternativesIncluding a Comprehensive Directory of Licensed Professionals and Treatment Programsby Melanie Solomonaa 12 step approach AA Not the Only Way provides a wealth of information and resources on alternatives to AA & other 12-step programs, including self-help groups, research on what works and what does not, and a large directory of licensed professionals and treatment programs that apply these options, both within the US and abroad. There has been a complete lack of this type of information, especially compiled into one place, and because of this, many people have not received the necessary help. When it comes to substance abuse recovery, the program that is most often recommended is AA. However, its success rate is around 5%, which is quite dismal. What's worse, there's a total lack of information about effective alternatives; until now! This is why some of the top addiction experts are praising this work. "This book is ideal for any addiction professional's waiting room, treatment process, or as an integral part of the client's continuing care plan." (Ms. Storie, NAADAC, The Association for Addiction Professionals) "The American Council on Alcoholism is pleased to highly recommend 'AA-Not the Only Way' as an important resource for individuals exp[loring all treatment options.. The ACA believes that there are many approaches to the treatment of alcohol dependence. Further that individuals should understand what their treatment options are, and then choose which one they feel is most appropriate for them. 'AA-Not the Only way' offers a comprehensive and very valuable guide to non 12-step treatment options." (Lloyd Vacovsky, Executive Director, American Council on Alcoholism) "aa not the only way" pdf download 
As a dedicated member of a 12 Step recovery program one may think that my review on Melanie's book "AA Not the Only Way" might be one of disapproval. However you would be mistaken.
AA Not the Only Way pulls no punches when describing Melanie's personal experience with conventional treatment and 12 Step fellowships. Determined to tell her story truthfully it may appear to be a bashing of these programs, but in reality nothing could be further from the truth. We here at KHLT Recovery Radio feel that her approach was necessary in order to be true to herself.
Having said that may I say that this book is an absolute must read for anyone seeking an alternative to conventional treatment, 12 Step fellowships and typical court ordered solutions of the day.
Although Melanie admits that she does not list all alternatives I must say that she has been extremely thorough with her investigation of the ones she has published in her book.
She has informed KHLT and I that she will be publishing many more resources as her vital work continues.
The reader of AA Not the Only Way will be relieved to see a variation of spiritual as well as medical and educational methods within each of the programs listed. In fact for the person seeking alternative recovery but still enjoys the 12 Step methods; many of the programs listed offer 12 Step philosophies for those who desire it.
In conclusion I must say that Melanie's book is as important to the recovery community as any other method available today. The simple truth is Melanie Solomon's book has successfully convinced KHLT Recovery Radio and myself that her book is a must read for all in recovery. !2 Step or otherwise.
Thank You Melanie for a Job Very Well Done.
