What "other" programs are there?

I see references on this forum to programs other than AA that an alcoholic can turn to. Presumably these are programs that help a person stop drinking and stay sober.

What programs are these? I've heard of Rational Recovery, but no others. I've lived in large cities the last several years and have not heard of any programs other than AA where you can meet other alcoholics.

I find it difficult to imagine a program that "treats" alcoholism (aside from AA) that results in anything other than being a dry drunk. AA itself seems to be full of more dry drunks than not (including yours truly from time to time). Is there really an alternative to AA?
