12-Step Recovery Programs for Lasting Sobriety

Our recovery programs blend the principles of the 12-step model with evidence-based therapies and community support.

A Proven Path to Sobriety and Healing

Addiction often feels isolating, but recovery doesn’t have to be a journey you take alone. We integrate the principles of the 12-step model into our comprehensive addiction recovery program, offering a blend of structure, community, and personalized support to help you achieve lasting sobriety.

While you never truly “complete” the 12 steps—because recovery is an ongoing journey—we ensure that each person receives a solid foundation to embrace long-term healing and personal growth. With a focus on peer support, accountability, and evidence-based therapies, our program guides you through each phase of recovery.

Why Choose the 12-Step Recovery Program?

Our program is focused on addressing the unique challenges posed by co-occurring disorders. By treating both conditions holistically and personally, we provide a path to long-term recovery, mental stability, and a healthier life.

What Is the 12-Step Recovery Program?

The 12-step program is a spiritual, emotional, and practical framework for overcoming addiction. Initially developed by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), the 12 Steps are now used in a variety of addiction recovery programs. Each step involves personal reflection, making amends, and building a support network to stay accountable throughout recovery.

At its core, the 12-step model is about acknowledging that addiction is beyond your control, seeking help from a higher power or a more significant support system, and committing to a life of growth and healing. While spiritual, the program is inclusive and open to people of all faiths or none.

How Evolve Integrates the 12-Step Principles

Step 1:
Substance Use & Depression

The first step of recovery is admitting that you are powerless over your addiction and that your life has become unmanageable. This act of honesty is the foundation upon which your recovery is built.

Step 2-3:
Seeking Support

In these steps, you’ll build trust in a support system greater than yourself, whether that’s a spiritual belief or the supportive recovery community around you.

Step 4-5:
Self-Reflection & Accountability

Self-examination is critical to uncovering the underlying causes of addiction. In these steps, you’ll create a personal inventory of your challenges and mistakes, followed by sharing them with a trusted individual to build accountability and begin healing.

Step 6-7
Preparing for Change

These steps involve letting go of harmful patterns and being open to positive change. It’s about being ready for growth and actively asking for support to make those changes.

Step 8-9
Making Amends

Here, you’ll identify and address the harm caused by your addiction, both to yourself and others. By making amends where possible, you rebuild trust and repair relationships.

Step 10-12
Ongoing Growth & Giving Back

The final steps focus on maintaining recovery by regularly checking in with yourself and others. You’ll also be encouraged to help others recover, creating a sense of purpose and fulfillment in sobriety.

The Power of Peer Support

One of the most powerful aspects of the 12-step program is the sense of community it fosters. At Evolve, you’ll participate in group meetings where you can share your experiences, listen to others, and develop relationships with peers who truly understand what you’re going through. This peer support is invaluable in helping you stay motivated, accountable, and resilient throughout your recovery journey.

Evidence-Based Therapies to
Complement the 12-Steps

We recognize that addiction is a complex issue that affects the mind, body, and spirit. To ensure a comprehensive recovery experience, we integrate evidence-based therapies such as:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Helps you identify and change the negative thought patterns that contribute to addictive behaviors.

Motivational Interviewing

Encourages self-reflection and helps you build the internal motivation needed to stay committed to your recovery.

Mindfulness & Stress Management

Techniques like mindfulness meditation and yoga help you manage stress and build emotional resilience, reducing the risk of relapse.

Ongoing Support for Long-Term Sobriety

Recovery is a lifelong commitment, and we are here to support you every step of the way. As you integrate the principles into your life, we provide ongoing access to care, including:

Aftercare & Recovery Coaching

Our recovery coaches provide ongoing guidance and support to help you navigate life’s challenges and maintain your commitment to sobriety.

Family Support Groups

Addiction affects not just the individual but their loved ones as well. Our family support groups help rebuild relationships and educate families on how to support their loved one’s recovery journey.

Alumni Program

Our alumni network provides fellowship and a robust support system that continues long after treatment, helping you stay connected and motivated as you maintain your sobriety.
