About Twelve Step Education Of New England – Billerica
Twelve Step Education New England is a 12 step program that provides outpatient substance use disorder treatment for people struggling with alcohol and narcotic addiction in Billerica, Massachusetts. This is specifically an adult oriented program which is intended to help people who have successfully achieved sobriety begin to take the steps necessary to maintain their recovery. It relies heavily on the 12 step model, and includes a strong educational component to inform participants about the dangers of addiction.
Billerica is a historic town in Massachusetts that contains history dating back to the American Revolutionary War. You can visit the Minuteman National Historic Park or even bike down the Minuteman Commuter Bikeway which is a popular biking trail. Other popular green spaces like the Vietnam Veterans Park and Micozzi Beach at Nutting Lake are fantastic for relaxing with loved ones.
Building on Sobriety Skills
The purpose of a 12 step program is to help people work through the causes of their addiction as well as build critical skills to effectively overcome previous triggers that would have led to substance abuse. This is often done through a combination of group sessions, workshops, and peer support or accountability partners to ensure that you’re less likely to relapse.
Education As Prevention
The biggest focus with 12 step is education and accountability to prevent relapse. However, this program doesn’t provide any type of medical interventions for people who might be in the middle of active addiction. Because of this, transitioning to a 12 step program is recommended for people who have either already achieved sobriety or who are in a medication assisted treatment (MAT) program elsewhere and are ready for a continuing support solution after also completing an outpatient program.

Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one).
