The main differences from what I know are that Celebrate Recovery is strictly a Christian endeavor with the higher power being defined as Jesus Christ. Which I see nothing wrong with, just not the path I'm on.
The other difference is that Celebrate Recovery has no single/primary purpose other than getting a person to accept Jesus Christ as savior in order to recover from whatever their problem is. It does not focus primarily on recovery from alcoholism. Rather it encompasses alcoholism, drug addiction, co-dependancy, sex gambling, etc. Which to me doesn't make a lot of sense.
I can't make a call on how effective it is because I have no experience with it, although there is a guy I'm working with (sponsoring) who tried it and couldn't stay sober.
