12-Step Programs are structured support groups designed to help individuals overcome addiction and other behavioral issues. They provide a framework for recovery through a series of twelve steps that encourage personal reflection, accountability, and community support. These programs are often based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous and can be adapted for various issues, including substance abuse, gambling, and overeating. Participants in 12-Step Programs typically attend regular meetings where they share experiences and support one another. The steps emphasize the importance of admitting powerlessness over the addiction, seeking help from a higher power, and making amends for past wrongs. This approach fosters a sense of belonging and encourages individuals to work towards lasting recovery.
