12-Step Program

The 12-step model was originally an approach to treating alcoholism published in the 1939 book Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How Many Thousands of Men and Women Have Recovered from Alcoholism1. Since then, the 12-step program has been utilized for various forms of substance abuse and has now become the backbone of addiction treatment for many patients. It is now utilized by countless rehab centers across the country. The main focus of the 12 steps is to have peer support and be there for others in the program to stay sober.

Our addiction treatment center in Philadelphia offers an effective 12-step program alongside other addiction treatments and programs. This form of care is specifically designed to help individuals battle any form of substance abuse to reach sobriety. Throughout this treatment, patients will familiarize themselves with the practices of the 12-step program and learn how to live a healthy life free of addiction.

 

Core Beliefs of the 12 Steps for Recovery

At Banyan Philadelphia, our 12-step program focuses on the core beliefs and principles originally created by Alcoholics Anonymous. The founding members of the AA, Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith, believed that a person can achieve recovery once these steps are taken. This method emphasizes that willpower alone is not enough to achieve a full recovery from addiction.

There are many aspects to recovery that need to be addressed. Recovery involves the person’s full acceptance of the problem and complete surrender to the 12 steps. Some of the key elements in 12-step addiction treatment programs require you to realize the problem, accept that you’re powerless to overcome it on your own, make amends for past behaviors, and assist other members of the program. Generally, sobriety is about physical, mental, and emotional healing. Failure to address each of these factors can negatively affect a person’s recovery process. Once an individual is willing and able to accept assistance, they can begin their addiction treatment.

As the first step in our 12-step program, patients will admit that they have a problem and are powerless against it on their own. Afterward, patients will begin evaluating themselves and their past behaviors, and can begin taking responsibility for their past decisions. This facet of the program will help patients understand how their addiction began and where it first took root in order. This can help individuals avoid relapse in the future. Patients will also understand how their addiction has affected the people in their lives like family, friends, and coworkers.

The main goal of this program is to help patients gain the insight and skills they need to achieve lasting sobriety. As a result of the 12-step program and other programs like our partial hospitalization program, patients will learn how to manage challenging situations and receive physical, emotional, and spiritual strength.
