My sister has had a long hard battle with alcohol and has now decided that she needs residential support to finally kick it as she is getting worse and her physical health is deteriorating rapidly with several hospital complications over the past 2 years due to alcohol related complications.
The problem is that all the treatment centres we can find are 12 steps based apart from two in the North of England. She is adamant that there is no point in her trying these as she has had no success with AA and the 12 steps. There is no point in her signing up for a treatment regime that she doesn't believe in as she is probably setting herself up for failure.
We have googled to the nth degree, but all the treatment centres seem to be 12 steps based.
Can anyone recommend a treatment centre that doesn't operate on the 12 steps? Google can find some in the US and some astronomically priced ones for celebs I guess, but her addiction support place will be funding it and they have budget limitations (don't know how much it is though).
Does anyone know of such a place preferably in or reasonable travel distance to London?
Thank you if you can advise. There doesn't appear to be a directory of them anywhere.

Can anyone recommend a alcohol treatment/rehab that is NOT AA based?
