Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and other 12 Step fellowships are programs of hope and renewal that were born out of personal destruction and despair. 

         

The Twelve Step Facilitation (TSF) groups we conduct at Ace Recovery are sometimes confused with 12 Step meetings (although we also have 12 Step meetings meetings in our schedule). TSF is more of a therapeutic approach that involves methods such as coaching and dialogue around critical concepts, attitudes, spirituality, and behaviors embodied in all 12 Step programs. This approach helps men get the most out of their 12 step meetings back home.

         

Many men continue to get into recovery simply by walking into a 12-Step meeting without the assistance of a counselor. One might call that a "natural" recovery. Our TSF sessions include information on the 12 Steps of AA and similar fellowships, with particular focus on the first Seven Steps. Additionally, men regularly attend the fellowship meeting NA at Ace Recovery in conjunction with the TSF counseling. Overall, TSF can be viewed as a "psychotherapy-assisted recovery" which embraces important elements of cognitive-behavioral treatment and practical, spiritual principles embodied in the 12 Steps.
