12 Steps Explained

12 Steps Explained

So many times people will say “the 12 steps” but many times people don’t even know what those steps are.

Here are those twelve steps.

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol–that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood
Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Many people also ignore or do not respect the 12-Step Program traditions.

1. Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon A.A. unity.

2. For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority — a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.

3. The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking.

4. Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or A.A. as a whole.

5. Each group has but one primary purpose to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.

6. An A.A. group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the A.A. name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.

7. Every A.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.

8. Alcoholics Anonymous should remain forever non-professional, but our service centers may employ special workers.

9. A.A., as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.

10. Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the A.A. name ought never be drawn into public controversy.

11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.

12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.

TV Shows about Drug Rehab / Addiction

It is a fact that television is bring more attention to drug rehabs then ever before. It is without a doubt that you can turn on many of the popular television shows and witness the realities that people live with everyday. Shows such as INTERVENTION or CELEBRITY DRUG REHAB are two prime examples. Do these shows do justice and show us what really is going on?

In a recent article released 12/15/2008 from a prominent rehab facility in Malibu, California says

The success or failure of a rehab program is ultimately a function of the environment in which it’s administered. A treatment center that fails to maintain an atmosphere conducive to the healing process will generally fail to help its clients get where they need to go. A treatment center that aims to preserve the privacy and dignity of its residents while ministering to their individual needs, on the other hand, will typically affect real and lasting recovery.

Therefore, if the success is determined by the enviornment is a TV-show a good enviornment to seek rehabilition for your drug addiction - experts would easily say no.  But - in all fairness if it changes just 1 person - in our opinion at Drug Rehab Costs.com is that it did its justice.

Drug Rehab Costs Statistics

According to a study done by the Substance Abuse and Mental-Health Services Administration it typically costs a little over $1400 for outpatient treatment, nearly $4,000 for residential drug rehab treatment program and a little over $7,000 for individuals getting outpatient treatment with Methadone. Treatment centers which offer Methadone are typically more expensive.  On the high end, you may find that a drug rehab stay costs $30,000 for one month.

As you can see, there is a very large range when it comes to drug rehab costs. An  individual will simply need to take the time to investigate their options, figure out how much their insurance will pay (if they have insurance) and then look for a treatment center that they believe be able to best address their needs and help them get off drugs at a price that they can afford.
