Twelve-Step Addiction Treatment & Recovery Programs

Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous

A 12-Step addiction treatment and recovery program is a set of guiding principles outlining a course of action for recovery from addiction. Originally established by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) as a method of recovery from alcoholism, the Twelve Steps were first published in the book, Alcoholics Anonymous in 1939. The method has since been adapted and applied to other addictions, such as Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and Cocaine Anonymous (CA). The process involves:

Admitting that one cannot control one's addiction;
Recognizing a greater power that can give strength;
Examining past errors with the help of another person;
Making amends for these errors;
Learning to live a new life with a new code of behavior; and
Helping others that suffer from the same addiction.

Active involvement in a 12-Step addiction treatment and recovery program can be an important part of maintaining long-term recovery. Twelve-Step addiction treatment programs teach ways to avoid the people, places, and things (triggers) that can cause cravings. They can also provide you with coping skills to help you deal more effectively with problems in all the areas of your life.

Alcoholics Anonymous

Local AA meetings can be found around the world. Click here to find a meeting near you.

One of the great benefits of AA is that it can truly help an alcoholic come to the realization that he or she is an addict. Most people are unwilling to admit that they are physically and mentally different from their peers who are able to drink socially and responsibly. Ultimately, you cannot be successful in recovery until you admit to your innermost self that your are an alcoholic or addict. This is the first step in recovery from addiction – and the First Step of Alcoholics Anonymous.

The Twelve Steps

We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable.
Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
Made a list of all people we had harmed, and become willing to make amends to them all.
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all or affairs.

Al-Anon for Families

Al-Anon and Alateen are international organizations jointly known as Al-Anon Family Groups with a membership of over half a million men, women and teens, providing a 12-Step program of recovery for friends and family members of alcoholics. Al-Anon was formed in 1951 by Lois Wilson, wife of AA co-founder Bill Wilson. She recognized the need for Al-Anon as family members living with AA members began to identify their own pathologies associated with the family disease of alcoholism.

Alateen, which branched off in 1957, is similar to Al-Anon, but is specifically for young people (ages 12 to 20).
