Why is it important to attend 12-step meetings?
Independent outcome studies show Renascent alumni who regularly attend meetings and who work with a sponsor are twice as successful. Once you leave the safety of a residential treatment program you need ongoing support to navigate through early recovery. Regular attendance at meetings combined with Renascent’s Continuing Care offers great protection against relapse. 12-step meetings include open and honest discussions about all aspects of dealing with recovery, both the pains experienced during periods of substance use and the positive experiences brought by recovery. This holds true for families. Al-Anon and Alateen (for teenagers) are confidential places where families can seek help from people who’ve been there too.
