Treatment Therapy
A Modern Approach to 12 Step Facilitation
We introduce the proven principles of 12 Step programs in a clinical, supportive setting, helping you build a powerful network of peer support that is essential for long-term, sustainable recovery.
Guidance, Not Force: Our Approach
12 Step Facilitation is an evidence-based therapy that strategically introduces the principles of fellowships like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). Our goal is to demystify the process and help you engage with a powerful community resource for achieving long-term abstinence. We understand that addiction is a chronic disease with biological, psychological, and spiritual components. Our program addresses all of these facets by guiding you through the core principles of acceptance, surrender, and active engagement in recovery.
Delivered by a credentialed therapist, our program educates you on how to make the most of these groups, addressing any uncertainty or past negative experiences. It’s about providing a clear, structured path to sobriety that you can rely on during treatment, aftercare, and for the rest of your life. We help you build a bridge from clinical treatment to lifelong community support.

The 12 Steps: A Framework for Growth
Created by the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous, the 12 Steps are a set of guiding principles for recovery. They are not rules, but a pathway to self-discovery, healing, and spiritual awakening.
Honesty
01
We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable.
Hope
02
Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Faith
03
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
Courage
04
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Integrity
05
Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Willingness
06
Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Humility
07
Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
Responsibility
08
Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
Discipline
09
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Perseverance
10
Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Awareness
11
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him…
Service
12
Having had a spiritual awakening… we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
Why This Approach Works
Research consistently shows that participation in 12 Step groups significantly increases the likelihood of lifelong sobriety. Our facilitation therapy is designed to unlock these powerful benefits for you.
Built-in Support System
Addiction thrives in isolation. 12 Step groups provide an immediate antidote: a community of peers who intimately understand the struggle. This connection reduces shame and provides a constant source of encouragement from people who have walked the same path.
Accountability & Structure
Recovery requires replacing chaotic habits with healthy routines. Regular meetings and the guidance of a sponsor provide a predictable, stable framework for your new life, offering compassionate accountability that helps you stay on track.
24/7 Global Access
Life—and cravings—don’t keep a 9-to-5 schedule. Meetings are available almost anywhere in the world, at any time of day, and are free to attend. This unparalleled accessibility means support is available whenever you need it most, no matter where you are.
Guidance from Experience
The sponsorship model connects you with someone further along in recovery who can provide invaluable, one-on-one guidance. A sponsor is a mentor who has navigated the challenges you’re facing and can offer practical advice and unwavering support.
The Power of Sponsorship
One of the most unique and effective aspects of 12 Step fellowships is the concept of sponsorship. A sponsor is not a therapist, but rather a mentor—someone with more experience in recovery who guides a newer member through the 12 Steps. This relationship provides a profound level of personal support and accountability.
Your sponsor is your go-to person for questions, for celebrating successes, and for navigating tough times. They offer a living example that long-term recovery is possible. Our facilitation therapy helps you understand the role of a sponsor and gives you the confidence to seek out this life-changing connection when you join a community group.
