AA - Alcoholics Anonymous - Basin Group

Alcoholics Anonymous – Basin Group is a nonprofit rehab located in Odessa, Texas. They specialize in the treatment of substance abuse and alcoholism with the goal of abstinence and long-term recovery through the spiritual principles of AA and its related groups.

Alcoholics Anonymous – Basin Group is a 12 Step program that provides the opportunity to live the principles of AA with the help of a sponsor and others seeking abstinence. Meetings are free, and there are no age or education requirements to participate. AA is not connected with any sect, denomination, politics, organization, or institution, and it does not endorse or oppose any causes. The 12 steps and 12 traditions are outlined in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, which is used as a universal recovery path for all 12 step programs.

The 12 Step program is an industry standard recovery model based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a plan for recovery based on a Higher Power. Middle steps include self examination and making amends to those who’ve been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to live a life of continued recovery while helping others do the same. Sister groups to AA include Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) Gamblers Anonymous (GA), and more.

Group therapy is the process of undergoing therapy within a group setting where interaction between participants provides additional benefit and healing. In AA, or any 12 Step program, this includes the common desire to achieve a life of abstinence.
