12 Step Recovery Program
For years, the 12-steps have been used to help countless individuals create a solid foundation after a life of addictive behaviors.
The steps are a road map to guide a person from addiction to freedom.
The process simply states a problem (disconnection, addiction, and unmanageability), a solution (power to change, new information and perspective change) and the process to accomplish this (the steps).
AA, NA, AL-Anon and Coda meetings are available in every town, city, and state. They exist in just about every country in the world. There are meetings and support available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. We strongly encourage all our clients to find a program that resonates with them and get involved so when they leave our care, they have a community to thrive in.
How Does 12 Step Recovery Work?
After spending time involved with drug or alcohol abuse, there hopefully comes a time when the addict surrenders. Upon surrendering, they will probably ask for help in the form of treatment from a facility like Kemah Palms Recovery®. This is where patients get the opportunity for a physical and mental cleansing at a professional Houston medical detox center.
Within the foundation of rehab like Kemah Palms Recovery®, one is likely to see how the 12 steps are evident. This isn’t a coincidence. Instead, addiction treatment modalities use the 12 Step concepts as a treatment guideline. Think about it. Many addiction treatment options in South Houston and throughout the country use the following script:
- Addict admits to their illness
- Addict seeks help from a rehab facility
- Patient learns about their addiction and taking responsibility
- Patient takes steps to fix issues and stay clean
- Recovering patient continues using the first four steps as needed
1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol–that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of a higher power as we understood it.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to a higher power, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have these defects of character removed.
7. Humbly asked that our shortcomings be removed.
8. Made a list of persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with a higher power as we understood it, praying only for knowledge of the higher power’s will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
