What Is a 12-Step Recovery Program?
A 12-Step program is a form of treatment that was originally referred to as “Alcoholics Anonymous” but has evolved to help treat all substance and alcohol use disorders as well as behavioral addictions. This program creates a community that can grow strength together during the recovery process.
How 12-Step Therapy Supports Long-Term Healing
Involvement in self-help groups keeps clients focused on their recovery goals, knowing they play an important role in their community. This program holds clients to a standard of asking for help when needed, getting a sponsor, participating in group meetings, and not using drugs or alcohol.
A Holistic and Spiritual Approach to Recovery
Discovering Connection, Purpose, and Community
At Red Rock Recovery Center, connection, purpose, and community are essential values. Together, we can grow and heal to rediscover our purpose post-treatment and lead a happy, healthy life.
Why Spirituality Is Central to 12-Step Recovery
Part of the addiction recovery process is whole-person healing, and spiritual growth is one sector of this. The 12-Step philosophy uses spirituality as a change mechanism, using your beliefs to push you in the recovery process. Turning to your spirituality gives you hope and guidance in addiction recovery.
The Benefits of a 12-Step Recovery Program at Red Rock Recovery
Community Support and Lifelong Connections
Our self-help groups in a 12-Step program connect you with peers who share similar recovery values. Being surrounded by this community motivates you both during and after treatment, reminding you of the progress you’ve made and the healthy life ahead of you.
Building Resilience Through Shared Experience
Connecting with your group in recovery helps build resilience as you learn how to navigate your addiction and recovery experiences. In this setting, you share experiences, support, and growth in order to overcome challenges in the recovery process.
Spiritual Growth as a Foundation for Lasting Sobriety
When you root your recovery in your spirituality, you connect to your journey more deeply. Addiction recovery is about healing mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, so having strong core values with your spiritual growth helps you stay on track for long-term sobriety.

How 12-Step Programs Integrate With Detox and Residential Care
In detox and residential care, you stay in a comfortable environment surrounded by others working through recovery. 12-Step programs fit into these treatment programs by providing you with a supportive environment that requires clients to remain sober.
Dual Diagnosis and Addressing Co-Occurring Mental Health Issues
It is not uncommon for clients to be dealing with mental health issues while battling addiction. Dual diagnosis treatment at Red Rock Recovery Center addresses all areas of healing to ensure your addiction and mental health needs are met to sustain progress and sobriety long-term.
Comprehensive Support Beyond 12-Step Therapy
Red Rock Recovery’s Detox and Residential Programs
Detox is the first step of recovery that focuses on removing the body’s physical dependency on the substance, managing withdrawal symptoms, and creating a sober foundation for further treatment. Residential treatment is typically the next step in the process, keeping you in a sober and safe environment with quality care and resources to set you up for success.
Our PHP and IOP Programs for Continued Care
Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs are two treatment options for continuous care or aftercare. These are highly structured programs that help clients maintain sobriety, access quality care and effective resources, prevent relapse, and keep them connected with a support network with their peers.
Sober Living Options and Alumni Support
The Ascent Sober Living Program at Red Rock Recovery Center offers you a comfortable living space that uses a 12-Step program to keep you on track with your recovery goals as well as improves your general life skills to ensure a smooth transition out of treatment. Alumni support is also consistent at our facility, helping clients stay connected to one another and provide each other with support at any point in the recovery journey.
Frequently Asked Questions about 12-Step Therapy
Is a 12-Step program right for me?
A 12-Step program may be right for you if you feel disconnected from your peers or groups in recovery. Sharing the same spiritual beliefs and similar addiction experiences grows strength in a community. 12-Step therapy also helps you improve all areas of your life, not just addiction and mental health, to assist with relapse prevention as well.
How does 12-Step therapy help with substance abuse and mental health?
12-Step therapy assists with substance abuse and mental health by holding clients accountable for their recovery, applying their personal growth to all areas of their lives, and reminding clients that addiction affects more than just themselves to encourage them to share their recovery with others so everyone can heal.
