What Is a 12-Step Program?

A 12-step program can be defined as a supportive framework for addiction recovery rooted in mutual understanding and personal growth. The program originates from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), and it underlines surrendering to a higher power and seeking solidarity with others facing similar struggles. Through regular meetings, participants share their experiences and gain insights into addictive behaviors, fostering accountability and resilience.

In these meetings, honesty, humility, and acceptance are expected. The primary objective is to create a nurturing environment for self-reflection and growth. By embracing the principles of a 12-step program, it’ll help you rebuild relationships, find purpose beyond addiction, and chart a path toward lasting and meaningful recovery. At Peace Valley Recovery, we integrate these principles into our holistic approach, offering compassionate support and guidance every step of the way.
