Recovery from alcoholism or substance abuse can be difficult. Fortunately, you don’t have to do it alone. New Dimensions Day Treatment Centers provide a supportive environment where you can learn the tools you need to become alcohol and drug free. In addition, while in treatment, you will gain a greater understanding of the 12 steps of recovery and will learn how to effectively utilize support groups such as AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) or NA (Narcotics Anonymous) to help you maintain your sobriety when you leave treatment.
The 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous are:
- We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.
- Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
- Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
- Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
- Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
- Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
- Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
- Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
- Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
- Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
- 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.
- 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 have heard about the 12-Steps of AA, but often don’t understand how it works or why they should enter a program that uses the 12-Steps. Fortunately, we have a team of trained substance abuse counselors who can help you not only learn the 12-Steps, but also can help you learn how to use them to create a life of lasting sobriety.
If utilized appropriately, the 12-Steps can provide you with a road map to the world of sobriety. New Dimensions can help you understand the 12-Steps and can help you learn how to incorporate them into your life so that you can get back to living the life that you want.
