Recovery Dynamics Twelve Steps Therapy
The Twelve Steps are a popular set of principles for recovering from alcoholism and addiction, that have been successfully transferred to compulsive disorders and behavioural problems.
They are used worldwide to treat millions of people with all kinds of addictive disorders, and it is one of the most widely-used techniques in rehab centres around the globe.
After completing the Twelve Steps with Recovery Dynamics®, you can identify your problems, devise solutions, and take actions to thrive sober using a simple step-by-step process.
The first principle of the Twelve Steps is admitting that you cannot control your addictive behaviour.
Most addicts begin in denial of how uncontrollable their addiction is, leaving them unable to fix it. Step One lays bare the full consequences of their behaviour to break through denial.
This admission of powerlessness is the starting point that allows you to overcome addiction.
The next steps draw on your individual beliefs to identify some power, community or faith to strengthen you, whether it is religious, spiritual or personal.

The Twelve Steps then examine your feelings and behaviour in depth, admitting and making amends for mistakes in the past and identifying harmful patterns that need to change. Finally, you learn to live with a new code of behaviour that brings value and purpose to your life and others.
The Twelve Steps
01
We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable
02
Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity
03
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
04
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
05
Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
06
Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
07
Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
08
We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable
09
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10
Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12
Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
Recovery Dynamics®
The Twelve Steps were coined in the 1930s by two alcoholics who discovered that this process works where medicine and psychiatry had failed, and founded Alcoholics Anonymous to share it. Recovery Dynamics® was developed in 1972 to teach the Twelve Steps to patients at a rehab in Little Rock, USA, and the Kelly Foundation was created to share its success with other treatment centres. Our own lead Addiction Therapists Chris Spencer and Anita Cragen trained in Recovery Dynamics® in 2015 at Little Rock itself with the leading experts in this technique.
A new way of life begins here at our specialist addiction rehab centre offering world class treatment.
Our Tailored Twelve Step Therapy Model
Our Phoenix Twelve Steps model is based on decades of experience treating thousands of clients with different Twelve Steps programmes. This unique approach tailors the Twelve Steps to the needs and beliefs of any client, with interactive presentations to explain each step and guided therapy sessions to complete them. The therapy is challenging but the reward is priceless: a complete change in thinking to free you from all addictive or compulsive behaviours.
Step 1 – Discovery: understanding and revealing the scope and scale of the problem, in order to begin your journey of recovery.
Step 2 – Belief: accepting that a solution is possible, whatever the scale of your problem and no matter what your underlying beliefs or value systems.
Step 3 – Commitment: accepting that a solution is possible, whatever the scale of your problem and no matter what your underlying beliefs or value systems.
Step 4 – Analysis: exploring – thoroughly and honestly – your past, to understand exactly what has brought you to this point in your life.
Step 5 – Admission: taking full ownership of the past and present situation and, in doing so, removing its power to harm.
Step 6 – Acceptance: fully committing to – and accepting the need for - a programme of change.
Step 7 – Change: embracing fully your programme of change, rejecting any feelings of guilt or shame and clearing the way to a new future.
Step 8 – Reveal: identifying individuals harmed in the course of your addiction.
Step 9 - Repair: taking clear, honest and positive steps to heal the damage caused by previous behaviours.
Step 10 – Upkeep: continuing to recognise - and admit to - ongoing problems and challenges and in doing so remove their power to cause harm.
Step 11 – Reflection: consciously aligning your recovery against your core values, resolving and removing any internal conflicts between actions and beliefs.
Step 12 – Connection: fully re-engaging with life and other people, with a new-found ability to deal with problems and avoid the destructive patterns of the past.
