12 Step Program

The 12 steps towards recovery involve various procedures that will help each patient continue to overcome their drug or alcohol addiction positively and successfully. 12-step meetings consist of a group of men and women that are willing to share a common problem with each other and help each other overcome it. These meetings are available for on site patients to continue on their path to a healthy lifestyle and successful recovery. Unity Recovery Center provides an accessible location for residential patients to get as much help and attention as possible. Given the appropriate care that the patients need, they can expect honest opinions and effective answers to ensure a successful recovery plan, one that will finally lay their alcohol and drug abuse issues to rest.

12-step programs all promote and share the same belief, that addiction is a disease. It requires those involved to admit that they alone are powerless over this disease and that seeking help through a greater power is needed to successfully overcome addiction. Steps 1-3 focus on the individual at hand and their acceptance over the inability to defeat their addiction without the support of others, steps 4-9 teach the individual to take responsibility for their actions, to self reflect and apply those reflections in the form of change, and steps 10-12 focus on maintaining recovery.

While Alcoholics Anonymous pioneered the 12-step program, the 12-step module has been adopted by a large amount of other dependency programs, which include Narcotics Anonymous, Pill Addicts Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, Smokers Anonymous and Sex Addicts Anonymous. Though these programs may vary in name, their core principles remain aligned with the philosophy originally explored in Alcoholics Anonymous. Because we have had such high success rates when using this method of rehabilitation at our facility, Unity Recovery Center incorporates a form of the 12-step module into all of its patient’s drug and alcohol treatment programs.
