12 Steps

The 12 Steps Program: A Brief History

The centerpiece of the Alcoholics Anonymous rehabilitation program, founded in 1939 by Bill W. and Dr. Bob, features aplan of action that begins with acknowledging powerlessness and ends with maintaining daily sobriety. The staff at 12 Palms Recovery Center takes the AA plan several steps further by admitting clients into a temporary residential program that teaches the tools necessary to address everyday life without the crutch of alcohol and/or drugs.

If necessary, clients undergo a medically-managed detoxification program to safely withdraw from the addictive substance. When ready, they begin an intense multidisciplinary therapeutic program that builds the foundation of a life-lasting sobriety. As they proceed through the steps they begin making reparations to those they've harmed through because of addiction. Finally, put into practice the important daily maintenance actions that will help them live a sober, happy and productive lifestyle.

The 12 Palms Difference

Although many rehabilitation centers claim to produce permanent results, we believe 12 Palms is uniquely positioned to teach our clients the tools and techniques they need to life a satisfying, happy and productive life in long-term sobriety.

Our counselors and specialists are competent and have a combined decades of experience in the field of addiction recovery. Our staff is comprised of recovered addicts and alcoholics, making us incredibly compassionate and understanding toward our recovering family members. We provide more one-to-one counseling than any other rehab center in the United States. And because we are small — we only accept about 30 clients at one time — our group therapy sessions are less intimidating.

We also understand that our clients don't want to be treated as patients. That is why the 12 Palms Recovery Center features private and semi private bedrooms and bathrooms. Our clients also enjoy access to their cell phones and laptop computers. They can communicate with loved ones and business associates as they see fit, because our staff is on hand 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to teach them the coping strategies they require to address the events of everyday life without the crutch of alcohol and/or drugs.

Real People Experiencing Real Recoveries

The staff at 12 Palms also knows successful sobriety is about more than just educating people about the benefits of completing a 12 step program. We help our clients experience a real recovery by helping them engage with once-loved activities such as golf, fishing, horseback riding, surfing, swimming and simply relaxing. At 12 Palms, we help clients reengage with life in a sober, fun and productive way.
