Many alcohol treatment centers treat addiction with clinical methods and medication. At 12 Palms Recovery Center, alcohol addiction is treated with time-tested methods such as the 12-step recovery process.

Alcohol treatment centers have been in service for decades and have evolved with a variety of treatment options that have been altered and adjusted through the years. While a rehab in South Florida can help alcoholics through various proven methods, 12 Palms Recovery Center in Jensen Beach, Florida believes in utilizing the original 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous as the foundation along with other proven methods.

The 12 steps, as originally created by Bill W. and Dr. Bob in the book Alcoholics Anonymous, are based on setting a foundation, building upon that solid foundation and maintaining the building itself.

At 12 Palms Recovery Center, patients are encouraged to find a sponsor to help guide them through the 12 steps. While a rehab in South Florida can teach the 12 steps in a clinical setting, 12 Palms Recovery Center encourages their patients to attend outside AA meetings, find a sponsor who has gone through the 12-step recovery process themselves, and work with them to build a solid foundation of recovery through working the 12 steps.

The first three steps are considered the building blocks—understanding that a patient is powerless over alcohol, coming to believe that only a power greater than themselves can restore them to sanity, and making the ultimate decision to allow that power to help them. Once a patient at 12 Palms Recovery Center has started their foundation, they can then start the process of rebuilding their lives through a set of action steps designed to deal with the problems that their own alcoholism caused in their lives, and work to fix those issues.

A rehab in South Florida can teach the 12 steps in a clinical setting, but at 12 Palms Recovery Center, each patient is strongly encouraged to go to work on the 12 steps during their stay there, working with a sponsor they have selected to help guide them along the way. The counselors at 12 Palms have worked the 12-step process themselves as recovering alcoholics and addicts, they understand the need to incorporate the 12 steps into their daily lives.

By encouraging the use of the 12 steps and by other successful treatment options, patients at 12 Palms Recovery Center can begin the process of understanding their addiction, realizing they are powerless to stop their addiction on their own, and by working with other recovering alcoholics who have successfully incorporated the 12-step process into their daily sober lives.

Time-tested methods that work is the key to the treatment program at 12 Palms Recovery Center.
