Yes. This plus Kolmac. You would be surprised with how many people have realized they needed help (even without hitting rock bottom).[/quote]

I mentioned this on here before, but my family has experience with Kolmac for a loved one. Was not impressed. For someone who is able to [b]remain[/b] highly motivated, it can work. But for someone with moderate to severe AUD/SUD who can't, the online model and constant rotation of new staff is unhelpful.[/quote]

Being highly motivated is necessary but not sufficient to recover from any addiction.

My husband sometimes drank through his Kolmac sessions (he also went to AA meetings drunk or went from AA meetings to get drunk) before he eventually went to rehab and then eventually got sober. He was also sober for 6 months or so before Kolmac using SMART recovery.

I don’t blame Kolmac for that. I think it probably did help him on his path to sobriety. It didn’t “fix” him, but it helped.   [/quote]
