12-Step Drug Treatment

Resource Description:

The term 12-step drug treatment refers to a model or approach to treating substance abuse that uses 12 spiritual and moral steps that help the addict or alcoholic to recognize a higher power, reckon with their past, make amends and move forward with their life without the use of drugs or alcohol. It is recommended that these steps be followed under the guidance of a peer in the group called a sponsor and that meetings be attended regularly. Anonymity is an important aspect of 12-step treatment as it allows people to heal without repercussions at work, and as increments of time pass in which the addict or alcoholic abstains from using any intoxicating substances, recognition is given in the form of chips at the end.
