12-Step Level of Care

12-step programs are a time-tested approach to addiction recovery, first introduced by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). These programs provide a structured path to healing through a series of guiding principles. The initial steps focus on acknowledging the problem—recognizing the powerlessness over addiction and beginning to rely on a higher power. As individuals move forward, they take accountability, make amends, and build a foundation for lasting sobriety. The final steps are centered on spiritual growth and helping others in recovery, creating a continuous cycle of support and healing. Variations of 12-step programs now exist to address a range of substance use and behavioral challenges, including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), and more. At Addiction Treatment Services, we help you navigate the many options available so you can find a recovery path that aligns with your beliefs and needs. Whether you’re seeking a traditional 12-step approach or a center that incorporates it into a broader treatment plan, we’re here to connect you to personalized care. Through compassionate guidance and access to reputable treatment centers, your journey toward lasting recovery can begin today. Let us help you take that first courageous step.
