[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Twelve Steps are the general name given to the groups of programs that help people recover from substance abuse, addiction to drugs, and alcoholism. A twelve step program usually involves admitting to a lack of control, recognizing a higher power, and looking back at past mistakes with the help of a group or a mentor to aid in the development of positive habits.<\/p>\n

The addict also usually needs to form a better relationship with a higher power during this process. For some, this includes returning to a prior religious belief system, and for others, it includes their own conception of a higher power.<\/p>\n

A number of drug rehabilitation facilities and self-help groups often rely on these principles to aid in positive growth, as they have demonstrated a great degree of effectiveness and positive results over the years. Groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and other drug-specific support mechanisms have developed to adapt this program to the specific needs of addicts and their particular patterns of drug abuse. Comedian, actor and recovering addict Russell Brand has even published his book, Recovery<\/i>, where he breaks down the 12 steps in a modern fashion.<\/p>\n
