Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alcoholics Anonymous is one of the best-known approaches to the treatment of alcoholism, emphasizing group support and the 12-step program. While it has spiritual aspects, it is not a religious group and does not necessarily condemn the use of alcohol for non-alcohol-dependent individuals. It is also not an intensive, short-term support group, a treatment program based on psychodynamic principles, or exclusively run by a therapist who was a former alcoholic.
