The Twelve Step Method Overview

The twelve-step method has been adapted to a variety of addictions, compulsions and dependencies. It originally began with a set of principles to guide alcoholics to recovery and carry the message. However , many drug addicted individuals felt they could not relate to an alcohol dependency, therefore other groups began to spring up like Narcotics Anonymous. Other dependencies such as food and gambling, have also revised the twelve-step program to meet their needs.

Introduction to 12 Step

Life Changing Tools - having been around for many years, and successful for hundreds of thousands of people, the twelve step program outlines principles to take control of ones actions and responsibility for their own recovery.

A twelve-step program is a guide, outlining a set of principles that give direction to an individual to take action and responsibility for their own recovery from addiction, compulsions, or other behavioral problems. Although the twelve-step program was originated for alcoholics, it has been adopted to address a wider range of substance abuse and dependency problems. It is a group meeting, where individuals share their hope and experiences with others who have the same or similar problems with addiction. The twelve-step program conveys a set of principles to live your life by.

At the Cedars, we believe that involvement in a twelve-step program can enhance therapeutic methods and give an individual ongoing support in goals of recovery. An introduction to the twelve-step program is available to the individual, allowing the individual to make an informed choice as to whether this type of support is something they may want to participate in. The twelve-step program is a choice.
