      Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment


      What is the 12 step method for treating addiction?

      "The 12-step method for treating addiction is a structured, peer-based approach that originated with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in the 1930s. Since then, it has been adapted for various other substance use disorders and behavioral addictions, including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Gamblers Anonymous (GA), and Overeaters Anonymous (OA), among others. The method is based on a set of guiding principles, known as the 12 steps, that outline a path to recovery, personal growth, and spiritual development.

      The 12 steps of the method are as follows:

      1. Admitting powerlessness over the addiction and recognizing that one's life has become unmanageable.
      2. Believing that a higher power (interpreted by each individual according to their beliefs) can restore sanity and provide support in recovery.
      3. Deciding to turn one's will and life over to the care of the higher power.
      4. Conducting a thorough and honest moral inventory of oneself.
      5. Admitting to oneself, the higher power, and another person the exact nature of one's wrongs and shortcomings.
      6. Being ready to have the higher power remove these defects of character.
      7. Humbly asking the higher power to remove one's shortcomings.
      8. Making a list of all the people harmed by one's addiction and being willing to make amends to them.
      9. Making direct amends to those harmed, whenever possible, except when doing so would cause harm to them or others.
      10. Continuing to take personal inventory and promptly admitting when one is wrong.
      11. Seeking to improve one's conscious contact with the higher power through prayer and meditation, asking for knowledge of the higher power's will and the strength to carry it out.
      12. Having experienced a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, carrying the message to others struggling with addiction and practicing these principles in all aspects of life.

      The 12-step method emphasizes the importance of peer support, mutual aid, and the sharing of personal experiences as a means of overcoming addiction. Participants typically attend regular meetings, where they share their stories, listen to others, and work through the steps at their own pace. Many 12-step programs also encourage members to find a sponsor, an experienced member who has worked through the steps and can provide guidance, support, and accountability during the recovery process."


      How can society prevent teen substance abuse?

      Preventing teen substance abuse requires a comprehensive, multifaceted approach that involves various sectors of society, including families, schools, communities, and the healthcare system. Here are some strategies that can be employed:

      Education and Awareness: Schools and communities can provide education about the dangers of substance abuse, the nature of addiction, and the benefits of healthy lifestyle choices. This education should be accurate, age-appropriate, and engaging.

      Family Engagement: Parents and caregivers play a critical role in prevention. They can talk openly with their children about substance abuse, set clear expectations around substance use, monitor their children's activities and friendships, and provide a supportive and nurturing environment.

      Early Intervention: Early identification of risk factors for substance abuse (such as mental health issues, academic struggles, or behavioral problems) can allow for timely intervention. Healthcare providers, educators, and parents can all play a role in identifying and addressing these risk factors.

      Access to Mental Health Services: Teens with mental health conditions are at a higher risk of substance abuse. Ensuring access to mental health services can help address these underlying issues and reduce the risk of substance abuse.

      Healthy Activities: Providing teens with opportunities for healthy, engaging activities (like sports, arts, volunteering, etc.) can reduce boredom and stress, provide a sense of purpose and belonging, and offer positive alternatives to substance use.

      Community Support: Communities can create environments that support healthy choices and discourage substance use. This can include things like enforcing age restrictions on the sale of alcohol and tobacco, providing safe and substance-free recreational opportunities for teens, and fostering a community culture that values health and wellbeing.

      Substance Abuse Programs: Schools and communities can implement evidence-based substance abuse prevention programs. These programs can teach skills for resisting peer pressure, making healthy decisions, and coping with stress.

      Policy Measures: Policies can be implemented that help prevent substance abuse, such as those that limit the advertising of alcohol and tobacco products, regulate the prescription of addictive medications, and support substance abuse prevention and treatment services.

      Peer Support and Leadership: Peer-led initiatives can be very effective in preventing teen substance abuse. Teens may be more likely to listen to and be influenced by their peers. Peer leaders can model healthy behaviors, challenge norms around substance use, and provide support to their peers.


      How do I repair relationships damaged by my drug and alcohol abuse?

      "Repairing relationships damaged by substance abuse is a process that takes time, effort, and a sincere commitment to change. Here are some steps to consider:

      Achieve Sobriety: The first step in repairing relationships is to focus on your recovery. Demonstrating commitment to sobriety shows your loved ones that you are serious about making a change.

      Acknowledge the Damage: Be open and honest about the harm your substance abuse has caused to your relationships. Acknowledging the problem is the first step towards making amends.

      Apologize Sincerely: Offer a sincere and heartfelt apology. It's essential to take responsibility for your actions and the pain they've caused, without making excuses.

      Make Amends: Making amends goes beyond apologizing. It involves taking action to correct past wrongs where possible, whether that means repaying debts, resolving past disputes, or simply making a commitment to behave differently in the future.

      Open Communication: Maintain open, honest, and regular communication with your loved ones. Be open to their feelings and feedback, even if it's tough to hear.

      Be Patient: Healing takes time. Your loved ones may not be ready to immediately forgive or trust you again. Respect their feelings and give them the time they need to heal.

      Seek Professional Help: Family or relationship therapy can provide a safe and structured environment to address issues, improve communication, and begin the process of rebuilding trust.

      Maintain Consistency: One of the most crucial steps in repairing relationships is consistently demonstrating your commitment to your recovery and to positive change. This consistency helps to rebuild trust over time.

      Support Their Healing: Understand that your addiction may have caused significant pain and trauma to your loved ones. Support them in their own process of healing, which may include their own therapy or participation in support groups.

      Rebuild Trust: Broken trust is often the most challenging aspect of a relationship to mend. Proving through actions over time that you're committed to your sobriety and to being reliable and truthful can gradually rebuild trust.
