Alternatives to the 12 Steps

Support groups like Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) are based on the principles of the 12 steps and rely on mutual help from peers to keep participants on the right path in their recovery, without professional therapy or guidance. Most of us are familiar with self-help groups such as AA and NA for people with substance use disorders, but there are alternatives. In a new Facebook/Instagram Live, Jennifer Newman, M.A., Registered Associate M.F.T., AKUA Mind & Body's OHANA Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) Director, talked about, "Alternatives to the 12 Steps."
