Dual Recovery Anonymous
The organization provides 12 steps that are an adapted and expanded version of the traditional 12 steps. The expanded approach changes the identified problem to co-occurring disorders, and the population to be assisted is changed accordingly. It also retains most of the traditional language while modifying certain terms in an effort to meet the needs of mental health consumers. In addition, it incorporates affirmations into three of the 12 steps. The organization provides a meeting format that is used by fellow members who chair the meetings.
