12 step programs are an alternative method of addiction treatment that have grown increasingly popular. They have been around for nearly a century and are a familiar topic within recovery communities. Use of the 12 Steps program for drug abuse is often used alongside formal behavioral therapy and medical assisted treatment (MAT). The 12 Steps was designed to help participants achieve and maintain sobriety. Popularized in the early 20th century with the formation of Alcohol Anonymous, the success of the steps program for alcohol addiction led to the creation of its virtually identically counterpart, Narcotics Anonymous.
