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.
