List of twelve-step groups
- This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
This is a list of Wikipedia articles on twelve-step groups that are based on the set of guiding principles, originally developed by Alcoholics Anonymous, for recovery from addictive, compulsive, or other behavioral problems.[1] The twelve-step method has been adapted widely by fellowships of people recovering from various addictions, compulsive behaviors, and mental health problems. Additionally, some programs have adapted the twelve-step approach in part.
