The treatment plans for alcohol abusers and drug abusers are similar—90 meetings in 90 days and 12-step programs. One difference is that:
1. one program uses a 12-step approach and the other has a religious base.
2. heroin addicts have a higher success rate.
3. alcohol abusers have an easier time staying with the program.
4. relapse rates for patients using drugs other than alcohol alone are much higher.

One difference between alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs is that drug abusers will have a lower success rate. Alcohol abusers will have a higher rate of success when they fol-low the Alcoholics Anonymous program.
