Support Groups
12-step programs are peer support groups for recovery from addictions, compulsions, and/or disorders. These programs often require a belief in a higher power, and many claim that those who follow the 12-step model but do not recover are fundamentally incapable of recovery. LDP does not support any claim that anyone is incapable of recovery, or that there is only one path to recovery. Additionally, the scripted language of programs using Alcoholics Anonymous’s model may be gender-exclusive (i.e. refers exclusively to “men and women”).
