Question 20

Explain why Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12-step programs is an efficiency program to reduce alcohol dependence

Answer 20

First, this therapy is based on one of the pillars of EBP, which states that clinical expertise and scientific validation should be given as much weight as the patient’s wishes and preferences.
If we focus on the patient’s choices, we increase the patient’s intrinsic willingness and thus adherence to treatment.
Then, therapy is a time of social and emotional exchange. This makes the person feel supported and motivates them in their recovery.
Finally, this therapy is based on certain principles of CBT such as increasing intrinsic motivation. CBT is a scientifically validated therapy. Thus, we can assume that the AA program is based on scientific validity.
