12-Step Links
Today, there are a variety of 12-step programs designed to help individuals who are addicted to substances. These programs — Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and others — are founded on the principle that by surrendering to a higher power, you can achieve and maintain abstinence from alcohol or drugs with the help of other people.
Faith-based but not religious, 12-step programs emphasize recovery rather than cure. In them, each participant follows the 12 steps in order and on his or her own time frame. In the process, he or she becomes more self-aware, more accepting of help and better equipped to fight damaging thoughts and behaviors.
Addiction may always be something to fight, but recovery can provide the equipment needed to maintain abstinence. Every 12-step program for substance abuse or 12-step program for alcohol abuse is voluntary, free to join and anonymous. These programs have been found to be effective in helping people remain substance-free.
Embark Recovery is a 12-step based program. Here are some links to different organizations that will assist in a 12-step based recovery:
