"Social Recovery Model:
Adolescent and young adult recovery outcomes in relation to 12-step mutual-help participation" John Kelly, Ph.D., Associate Professor in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School Relapse following treatment is common, yet participation in professionally-delivered continuing care and recovery focused mutual-help organizations, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) have been shown to reduce relapse rates. While young people have also been shown to benefit from 12-step mutual-help participation they face additional barriers to engagement compared to adults. This talk reviews the evidence regarding the clinical utility of 12-step mutual-help resources for young people and discusses clinical recommendations to facilitate their use.
