Marc F. Kern, Ph.D. Addiction Alternatives

Dr. Kern is a pioneer and expert in the field of contemporary, non-12-step addiction treatment. His ground-breaking approach has helped thousands of clients in his private practice in Los Angeles, Calif.
"The 12-step approach, with its powerlessness and "higher power" philosophy was the antithesis of my architectural training and the consciousness of my college years during the Vietnam War protest era. I founded Addiction Alternatives to provide clients with non-12-step addiction treatment alternatives, because there are many more people like me who do not find AA and the 12-step approach to be effective."
