Skip to content At Long Beach Detox, we understand the significance of providing comprehensive and effective approaches to support individuals on this path. One such proven method is the 12-Step Program, a time-tested and widely embraced approach to addiction recovery.
The 12-Step Program is a structured, spiritually grounded approach to addiction recovery that originated with the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in the 1930s. This program is now widely used by various mutual-help groups and treatment centers for a range of substance use disorders. The 12 steps are a set of guiding principles designed to help individuals overcome the challenges of addiction by fostering self-awareness, accountability, and spiritual growth.
The 12 steps, as outlined by AA, are:
We admitted we were powerless over alcohol (or our addiction) – that our lives had become unmanageable.
Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics (or individuals struggling with addiction), and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
The 12-Step Program provides a clear and structured path to recovery, offering individuals a roadmap for self-reflection, growth, and healing. This step-by-step approach helps break down the recovery journey into manageable and achievable goals.
Participation in a 12-Step Program introduces individuals to a supportive community of peers who share similar struggles. The fellowship aspect of the program creates a sense of belonging and understanding, reducing feelings of isolation.
The program encourages individuals to take a fearless moral inventory of themselves, fostering a sense of accountability and personal responsibility for their actions. This introspection is vital for breaking the cycle of denial and self-deception.
The 12-Step Program incorporates spiritual principles, allowing individuals to explore and develop their spirituality as a source of strength and guidance. This spiritual aspect is inclusive, allowing individuals to interpret and connect with a higher power in a way that aligns with their beliefs.
