Will a 12-Step Program Work for You?
“It works if you work it” is a common phrase among 12-step program members. In other words, how much you get out of the program depends on your effort to work through the steps, engage in self-improvement, and participate in meetings.
Studies show that consistently attending meetings multiple times a week leads to better substance abuse outcomes.2 If an individual is willing to “work it,” 12-step programs can provide an essential source of community and peer support.
Still, these programs are not for everyone. Here’s everything you need to know about 12-step programs to determine if they are a good next step for you.
What is a 12-Step Program?
A 12-step program is a plan that emphasizes the importance of accepting addiction as a disease that can be treated but never fully eliminated. The overarching goal is to provide participants the necessary supports to abstain from substances.
These supports include a sense of community acceptance and accountability that allow members to transition into long-term recovery. The groups involve a community of peers and a set of 12 guiding principles or “steps” to be followed in the recovery process. Groups offer free membership and are often run by members without the involvement of healthcare professionals.
Sponsors
The 12-step model places a strong emphasis on helping other members achieve and maintain sobriety. New members are encouraged to connect with a sponsor. This is a senior member of the 12-step program, who has been in recovery for at least one year. Sponsors are available to help people navigate the ins and outs of 12-step membership, answer questions, provide support while working on the 12-steps, and offer accountability.
What Are the 12 Steps?
The basic premise of the 12-step approach is that people can help each other achieve and maintain abstinence from substances. But first, they must admit they are powerless and surrender to a higher power, attend meetings, and work through the twelve steps.
The twelve steps, as outlined in Alcoholics Anonymous (the “Big Book”), are:3
The twelve steps, as outlined in Alcoholics Anonymous (the “Big Book”), are:3
- Admit that you are powerless in your addiction and that your life has become unmanageable.
- Believe that a higher power can restore sanity.
- Make a decision to turn control over to a higher power.
- Take a moral inventory of yourself.
- Admit to the higher power, oneself, and others the wrongs that have been done as a result of your addiction.
- Be ready for the higher power to remove these moral shortcomings.
- Ask the higher power to remove these moral shortcomings.
- Make a list of all persons that have been harmed by your addiction and be willing to make amends to them all.
- Make direct amends to people wherever possible, except when doing so would injure them or others.
- Continue to take personal inventory and admit when you’re wrong.
- Seek enlightenment and connection with a higher power through meditation and prayer.
- Carry the message of the 12 steps to others in need.
Do I Have to Be Religious to Attend?
It’s important to note that one’s chosen higher power doesn’t have to be the Christian concept of God. Instead, it can refer to one’s own spiritual beliefs, the universe, or even the 12-step group as a whole.
Types of 12-Step Programs
There are over 200 different 12-step organizations—often referred to as fellowships—with membership in the millions across the globe. Some of the most common 12-step programs include:
- Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)
- Narcotics Anonymous (NA)
- Cocaine Anonymous (CA)
- Overeaters Anonymous (OA)
- Gamblers Anonymous (GA)
- Marijuana Anonymous (MA)
- Heroin Anonymous (HA)
- Co-Dependents Anonymous (CoDA)
- Debtors Anonymous (DA)
- Sexaholics Anonymous (SA)
What to Expect at 12-Step Meetings
Location
12-step meetings are usually held in community centers, churches, inpatient or outpatient addiction treatment facilities, or sober living homes.
Cost
Meetings are free to attend; however, members may be asked to contribute a small donation to help cover the cost of coffee or other snacks.
Format/Agenda
Depending on the size of the meeting, it’s common for members to sit in a circle. At the start of the meeting, members go around the circle (or room) sharing their names, along with acknowledgment of their addiction or what brings them to the meeting. Newcomers are encouraged to join in; however, it’s okay just to observe.
The rest of the meeting consists of members offering to share their stories of addiction and recovery. Meetings may also involve readings from texts associated with the 12-step group, such as AA’s The Big Book.
Anonymity
These meetings are intended to be anonymous and confidential, therefore, group members are asked not to speak about other group members outside of meetings.
Duration/Commitment
The length of time it takes someone to complete all twelve steps depends entirely on the individual. For those who are new to a 12-step program, it’s often recommended that newcomers attend 90 meetings over the course of 90 days.
Some people may stay in a 12-step program for a short period, while others attend meetings and return to step-work for many years. It’s common for people who have maintained abstinence for a long period of time to continue to attend meetings regularly for positive social interaction and to help prevent relapse.
Benefits of 12-Step Programs
Many people have found success through 12-step programs, either in conjunction with evidence-based treatment, as part of aftercare following rehab treatment, or simply by attending meetings on their own.2 Some of the benefits of attending a 12-step program include:
- Free to attend
- Widely available
- In-person and online options
- Provides structure
- Offers sense of community
- Provides accountability
- Offers hope

Recovery is about more than just stopping drug or alcohol addiction. It’s about a new start, a brighter future, and a happier life. For many, 12-step groups are a source of safety, hope, guidance, dignity, and community. While it may take several tries to find the right 12-step group for you, attending your first meeting could be a healthy step in the right direction.

When I decided to go into detox , I was ashamed and embarrassed for having gotten to the point of needing it, and intimidated by getting it. The minute I arrived at Boca Recovery Center, all of that went away. The entire staff, from Case Workers to Doctors, Nurses, Coordinators, Therapists, – everyone– was so professional, kind, friendly, caring , informative, supportive , and helpful. I was so comfortable and my condition improved everyday. It was one of my best decisions to go there and be guided by them to better health. I haven’t felt this strong and healthy in 5 years. I thank the people at Boca Recovery Center with all of my heart. Love and mercy to everyone.

Today marks 160 days in recovery and since leaving avenues, I ve moved into a new place, got a new job, got a new car, started repairing relationships, working on my steps and most importantly, I have all my babies back home. This week is spring break for my kids and I m able to take them on vacation. We re currently in Nashville for the next couple of days and I just get to enjoy my time with them. I know without avenues and all the amazing staff, I wouldn t be where I am today. There were so many awesome staff members that cared and took the time to talk, I know a few times I thought about leaving but glad I didn t and am glad everyone who talked to me. I wish I remembered all their names but I don t. I ve been to another avenues about a year and a half before going to this one and I have to say hands down this one(Clarksville) blows the other one out of the park. From the staff to the food to how the program is laid out, they care and will go the extra mile. I only wish I lived closer so that way I could work there once I hit my year. I will always remember the kind hearts of those that work here. This place got me my life back and I know my kids are thankful for that.

This is Maxwell Kremin a former and proud patient. I came to Jaywalker after a very bad experience at another treatment facility. Over there, there was a clear focus on money over treatment. This is the exact opposite of Jaywalker. Jaywalker would not spare a dime if it meant that we would have a better experience during recovery. The staff are incredible and the other patients I met were some of the most amazing guys I’ve met in my entire life. If you or someone you care about is dealing with addiction this is hands-down the only place in America to send them if you truly care about them. I extend my sincerest appreciation to all still working at Jaywalker.

I recently graduated from STR. I was in programming between May to September, originally PHP and then in the IOP mental health program. While in PHP I was in housing as well. There are family sessions offered too, but I did not utilize that service while at STR.While the house I was at was not perfect, administration tried their best to accommodate every concern clients had with the house. It was overall a clean and safe environment to live in. If there are any concerns advocate for yourself and ask a tech to call a house meeting if it is an interpersonal issue within the house. If you have a different issue communicate that to the director and it will most likely be handled promptly.The PHP (partial hospitalization program) for mental health is six days a week, 9am-1:30 Monday-Friday and 9am-12pm Saturdays. The program changes as needs change. When I first began there process groups were three hours long, but when I left they were two hours long with an additional hour of psych ed. While the day may seem long, everyone gets a break between noon and 12:30. Afternoon there are different types of therapy everyday like art therapy, DBT, CBT.IOP (intensive outpatient program) is only 9am-12pm three days a week, usually Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. The director is accommodating though so if for any reason you need to not go on a Monday, you could always go on a Saturday if you advocate for yourself.You ll have one individual session a week with one of the clinicians. I had Ashley and she is phenomenal. While the staff really do care about the clients, Ashley definitely cares about clients and it shows in her work.You ll also have a session with either Dr. Newman or Monique once a week to go over medications they are both amazing!STR is shaped not just by the staff, but clientele too. I have reinforced and grew my support system while being at STR. And while I was in the mental health program, I have substance use disorder as well, I d recommend Steps to recovery struggling with their mental health or substance use. It may take a couple of weeks to really settle into the program, but continue to do the work since you are worth it and advocate for yourself if something isn t working for you.STR is also a great facility if you re part of the LGBTQ+ community. The staff here are not just accepting, but affirming. There is an optional LGBTQ+ group once a week with Christian, which was my favorite part of the week.

I appreciate that they go out of there way to help people with extenuating circumstances. There are a lot of personalities and that can frustrating. However, I would recommend this place to a friend in need. Overall, it s a good place.

Postive Recovery, specifically Bill Alcorn, provided a very informative and helpful program for my needs. I appreciated Bill s openness with his past struggles as I and the others in the group face our own struggles. I am a better person for going through IOP with Bill and Positive Recovery.

Acqua was the perfect start to my recovery journey! I had never been through treatment before and had no idea what to expect but It turned into the best decision I’ve ever made. The house and grounds are beautiful and they matched me with one of the best therapists I’ve had in the many years I’ve been in therapy. I can’t express how much this place has changed my life. I will be one year sober in one week!

The Boca Recovery Center is a luxury alcohol and drug rehab center for adults in Bloomington, Indiana. They specialize in cutting edge addiction treatment provi | Treatments Programs Payment Options | View Website (930) 200-3145 | Boca Recovery was my saving grace. I was given the ultimatum that if couldn’t get clean from alcohol and marijuana, then I would be removed from my children’s lives and have no chance of getting custody back. As an addict I just didn’t see me able to do this alone. I Google searched top rehabs in Oklahoma, and came across Boca Recovery. When I spoke to a recruiter they informed me that the facility was not in Oklahoma, but he told me not to panic. If I was ready, then all I had to worry about was making sure I was going to board on my scheduled flight. It seemed too good to be true, but sure enough they delivered and made sure I made it there safely. As soon as I stepped foot into the facility the staff treated me with the best care. Not only that, but the facility was very well maintained. You’re seen by a nurse the first day, and they set you up with everything you’ll need for the detox process. All therapist and case managers work together to build the best treatment plan that suits the patient/client. Not to mention the food they provide is amazing! Thanks to Boca recovery I have passed every UA since I’ve been out, and am able to be involved in my children’s lives again. Before arriving to Boca I didn’t see any of this being possible. Highly recommend to anyone struggling with addiction!

BOCA saved my life. It offered me safety, stability, and daily expectations that I needed desperately. From the first day of entering the program the techs were welcoming, understanding, and supportive which eased my anxiety and allowed me to relax. The clinical staff I worked with is amazing and they helped me begin to understand why I needed to be there and pushed me to see that I also deserved happiness and peace of mind. The community that was created during my stay is one that is with me for life. Lifelong friendships have been created and we stay in touch to this day which has been critical for my sense of belonging. Thank you to BOCA in the city of Bloomington, Indiana; you are the starting point to my path of recovery.
81 days and counting.

Symetria Recovery saved my life!! I was driving down the highway suffering major withdraw from opioid addiction. I found Symetria Recovery and they had me in the very next day. When I got tested, I was positive for Fentanyl, which had to of come from something off the street. I nearly had a panic attack thinking about my life ending, leaving behind my wife and 3 beautiful children. I’ve been here for about 18 months clean and sober and have never been happier. It feels great to be “me” again. Addiction causes you to lose yourself. With the help of the staff at Symetria, you CAN be saved!! Come get saved at Symetria Recovery!!

Kyler was a great mentor while I was there, and he along with the other techs all seem very genuine and honest and willing to help in anyway they can.

This was a great place to learn how to grow up. As an alcoholic, I avoided adulthood and had a ready made excuse as to why I didn’t achieve or succeed in things. “I’m a drunk.” Once I removed the bottle, I quickly saw how much maturing I needed to do in everyday, regular life. The guys at RBC get you moving towards adulthood.
There are simple rules to be kept and standards to live up to; youre required to work the 12 steps, get a job, and respect the grounds and the people that live and work there. They are simple rules that many of us come in not knowing how to follow or have bucked at all points in our active addictions. Slowly but surely, this place guides you away from old habits into new, more productive ones.
All in all, this place takes you from beaten and broken to strong and empowered if you follow the rules and suggestions laid right at your feet. I’d recommend RBC to anyone serious about changing their life and “becoming the man they were meant to be.”

I attended RCA for 34 days at Bracebridge Hall. It was the most awesome place for a rehab. I learnt about myself and my addiction. I attended rehab there November 15th – December 17th. The staff in it’s entirety, from counselling to doctors, counseling to dietary. There was not one thing they didn’t cover in my treatment. The place was the most beautiful place and the treatment was the best treatment out of anyone I have heard. From all the ladies and guys in nursing through the ladies and guys in the kitchen. I will never forget that place or what I learned there. I will always appreciate them for all they did for me. As well, my insurance did not cover my stay. I went through their program on scholarship. I could not thank them enough for what they did for me!!!

My experience at RCA bracebridge Hall is one that absolutely saved my life. It started with a nursing staff. My counselor was absolutely amazing and her name was Tammy. I honestly believe that she wasn’t my counselor, I would not be where I am today. I have to mention Chris grape, Lauren and Tom. Without these people my journey would have probably ended short..Beth was my case manager,she was absolutely the best at what she does.Mary who did Mat class is phenomenal.She was my inspiration in the area .she is amazing,she never missed an appointment, which is crazy knowing her workload.Elijah…WOW! I HAVE NO CLUE HOW SHE DOES WHAT SHE DOES.absolutely amazing.She is so calm,and always had/has the right answers at the right time that I need them. I am currently at sober living and the house manager, which name is Evan, deserves a Nobel Peace prize…no really. He has the patience of a god. I don’t know how he stays so calm in the situations that he’s put through. Even on vacation he still made sure the house was being ran up to par. If I missed anybody I’m so sorry everyone I dealt with it RCA was amazing I don’t have anything bad to say about anyone. Nothing but love for RCA and I would recommend this place to anyone who has addiction issues or mental health issues.all love. Oh and Miss Holly is absolutely amazing also she is the best for the kitchen staff. Laura at PHP has a way about her that only she can get away with and she is all love to everyone. She cares so much about her job and is very passionate. If I can think of anything else I’ll be back.lol.Also wanted to give a shout out to Sam,and Lindsay whom which are part of the nursing staff.They both went above and beyond anything I could have imagined.they genuinely care for every client that walk through RCA.I will continue to add to this post as I have more time to reflect.

Where do I begin Before I came to Elevate I thought I had reached rock bottom in life but shortly after coming here I realized they saved me from ever getting there. I came for an alcohol addiction which became a secondary objective to my stay. I learned to love myself and gained confidence in being me. I found a way to finally be happy in life, in the current moment without contingencies. To know I was never broken and that I have more control over my perspective than I ever thought was possible. My sobriety came as a byproduct of discovering my own self worth and I often lay awake at night filled with gratitude for having the opportunity to go through this program. The amount of understanding and support offered to me was outstanding and I felt as if I was amongst family. The care and love from the staff inspires the clients to care for each other in the same fashion. If at any point you need a shoulder to lean on or just someone to listen, every face you see is there for you. I can t find the words to formulate a sentence that will truly express my thanks and love for Elevate. All I can do is let others know if your suffering and need the help, this is where you will find it.
