Examples include:
SMART Recovery, a worldwide community of support groups for people with substance or alcohol use disorder

Alcoholics Anonymous developed the first 12-step program, but such programs now exist in many different forms.
The 12-step program is a strategy for overcoming alcohol use disorder and other substance use disorders. It uses 12 distinct steps to guide people toward recovery.
There is limited research into its effectiveness, but one drawback is that it relies on people effectively surrendering themselves to a higher power. People who are not religious or spiritual may struggle with this concept.

People interested in partaking should speak with a relevant organization or healthcare professional about ways in which to treat and manage their substance and alcohol use disorders.
