Twelve Step Facilitation for Co-occurring Disorders Program Revised

Millions of people put their faith in the Twelve Steps every day. As a treatment provider, however, you need more than faith: you need proof to show accountability. Research proves that belonging to a Twelve Step Fellowship group increases the chances of long-term recovery from addictions and is also helpful with treating compulsive behaviors and mental health disorders. Twelve Step Facilitation (TSF) is an evidence-based approach that together with active involvement in a Twelve Step group helps individuals succeed as they move from treatment into recovery. Adapted from the Twelve Step Facilitation (TSF) program, Twelve Step Facilitation for Co-occurring Disorders (TSF-COD) offers specialized sessions that address the unique needs of those with both a substance use disorder and a co-occurring mental health disorder such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and PTSD. Ideal for those working in community-based, corrections, private practice, and mental health settings, the Twelve Step Facilitation Program is designed for one-to-one individual facilitation sessions, as well as group treatment.
