Description
12-step mutual help groups are the most widely sought source of support for people seeking to recovery from addiction, and specialist interventions (e.g., 12 step facilitation counselling) have been created to increase patients' likelihood of accepting them. But popularity does not necessarily equate with effectiveness, so researchers have spent decades evaluating the impact of these groups. This presentation reviews that research and also discusses the mechanisms through which 12-step groups affect members.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to: 
  • To appraise the research base behind 12-step interventions
  • To acquire practical clinical strategies for facilitation 12-step group involvement
  • To analyze the cost and care implications of 12-step fellowships
