At Addiction Recovery Center, we ensure equal care and non-judgment, acknowledging that not everyone aligns with the program’s spiritual basis. Although not compulsory, the 12-step model is highly recommended for fostering accountability, empathy, and trust among participants, crucial elements for adequate recovery. This inclusive approach underscores the center’s commitment to comprehensive treatment and support for every patient.
The 12 Steps Explained
The 12 Steps, initially developed by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), serve as a blueprint for personal recovery from addiction, offering a structured path that focuses on dealing with the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of recovery. This holistic approach does not solely focus on abstaining from addictive substances but also emphasizes personal growth, spiritual development, and a commitment to helping others. By targeting the physical, mental, and spiritual affairs, the 12 Steps offer a comprehensive framework for recovery, aiming for a balanced and fulfilling life free from addiction. Here is a concise explanation of each step and its purpose:
Admitting Powerlessness

Belief in a Higher Power
Introduces the concept that a power greater than oneself can restore sanity, incorporating spirituality into recovery.
Decision to Turn Our Will Over
Involves a commitment to put one’s life and will into the care of this higher power, emphasizing surrender and faith.
Moral Inventory
Encouraging oneself to take an honest self-assessment is essential for personal growth. Identifying one’s flaws and strengths can help to improve oneself.
Admitting Wrongs
Involves confessing these flaws to oneself, a higher power, and another person, fostering transparency and humility.
Ready for Removal of Defects

Integrating the 12 Steps in Treatment
Integrating the 12 Steps program, Addiction Recovery Center combines this structured, spiritual framework with evidence-based therapies and support systems for a holistic approach to recovery. This method addresses the physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions, offering a comprehensive pathway for individuals battling addiction.
Clinical Therapies and the 12 Steps
Integrating the 12 Steps with clinical therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) ensures participants benefit from psychological treatment alongside personal growth through the 12 Steps, enhancing overall recovery.
Group meetings are pivotal, providing a community for individuals to share experiences and challenges. These sessions extend beyond discussing the steps, including coping strategies, relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and fostering a mutual support network.
Personal counseling allows a more profound exploration of the 12 Steps, offering a space for reflection and addressing specific issues confidentially. Counselors guide participants to incorporate these principles into their recovery plans.
Supporting spiritual growth, practices like meditation and mindfulness help participants explore their spiritual journey within the 12 Steps framework.
Recognizing the journey doesn’t end with initial recovery, aftercare programs continue applying the 12 Steps in daily life, providing ongoing support for navigating post-treatment challenges.

I went through this treatment center back in June and it was the best decision of my life, if it weren’t for the great staff there I don’t think I would have had a chance at recovery. I have almost 7 months sober from all mood altering substances and I could never repay you all. Thank you so much for giving me another chance at life!!!!!!!!!!
