Perhaps the cult label is a reaction to the fact that AA and the 12 steps have become the de-facto standard prescription for addicts and alcoholics at many institutions and medically oriented treatment centers and rehabs. Fair enough. The steps certainly are often put forward as “the way” to get sober. And, of course, it’s only natural to rail against the status quo. —Jared Mazzaschi

I have been an addiction professional and social worker since 1994. I started blogging in 2005 as the Clinical Director at Dawn Farm. I no longer work at Dawn Farm and am now the Director of Behavioral Medicine at a community hospital, and a lecturer at Eastern Michigan University’s School of Social Work. Views expressed here are my own. Keep in mind that the field, the contexts in which the field operates, and my views have changed over time.
