12-Step Program in Texas

At Stonegate Center, located in  Azle, Texas, we believe addiction is a progressive course of illness involving the mind, body and spirit. Stonegate Center expertly blends evidence-based clinical practices, innovative medical services, and a comprehensive 12-step recovery process that heal the whole person. Immersion in 12 Step Principles lies at the heart of the Stonegate Center’s treatment philosophy. We believe that full recovery from addiction follows as the result of sincere and directed effort in the 12 Step Program of action.

How a 12 Step Program Can Aid Your Recovery 

We also believe that mere exposure to the 12 Step recovery program is not enough. In order to recover, the addict must take action. While in addiction treatment, our residents don’t just learn about the steps – they work them. Our Recovery Advocate team is comprised of individuals who have recovered from addiction and are here to support our residents in taking responsibility for their own recovery.

Each resident is paired with a Recovery Advocate who guides them through the process one-on-one and helps to monitor and facilitate progress.
