What Is a 12-Step Rehab Program?
12-step rehab programs are based on the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), a time-tested and proven approach to recovery from alcohol use disorder. The 12 steps of AA are a set of guiding principles that promote personal accountability and responsibility, helping individuals to take control of their lives and recover from addiction.
The 12 steps of AA include:
- Admitting that you have a problem and need help
- Accepting that you cannot control your addiction
- Deciding to turn your life over to a higher power
- Taking a moral inventory of yourself
- Admitting your wrongs
- Asking for forgiveness
- Making amends for your wrongs
- Resolving to change your ways
- Taking inventory of your life and surroundings
- Asking for help in making changes
- Seeking guidance from a higher power
- Sharing your experience with others to help them recover
While the 12 steps of AA are designed for recovery from alcohol use disorder, they can be adapted to any addiction.
