Drug Addiction Treatment Programs specifically Men's Treatment Programs such as California Recovery are very successful. Success in recovery is not always possible on the first try. Often, men who have failed everywhere else have succeeded at California Recovery. California Recovery is based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous.

The Drug Addiction Treatment Programs especially the Men's Treatment Programs begins with learning how to "behave better than we feel."

When Alcoholics Anonymous began, over 70 years ago, women were not invited to attend most AA meetings. Even 20 years ago, women in Southern California had the nearly impossible task, finding a recovery center for women.

Men still outnumber women in recovery centers. But finally women have somewhere to go. The programs tend to be small but strongly supported through fellowship among sober women.
