Area of Science:

  • Addiction research
  • Psychology
  • Public health

Background:

  • Twelve-step groups (12SG) are recognized recovery resources but are underutilized by individuals with dual diagnoses (co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders).
  • Limited empirical research exists on the participation patterns of dually-diagnosed individuals in 12SG.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To understand the participation of dually-diagnosed individuals in both specialized dual-focus and traditional 12SG.
  • To explore reasons for attendance, perceived benefits, obstacles, and predictors of affiliation within these fellowships.

Main Methods:

  • A one-year longitudinal study of 277 members of a dual-focus 12-step-based fellowship.
  • Data collection focused on engagement patterns, reasons for attendance, perceived benefits, obstacles, and baseline substance use severity.

Main Results:

  • Dually-diagnosed individuals actively engage in both specialized and traditional 12SG, with differing engagement patterns suggesting varying comfort levels.
  • Both fellowship types were utilized for managing addiction.
  • Higher baseline difficulty with substance use predicted greater 12SG attendance at follow-up, while lower baseline substance use predicted less attendance.

Conclusions:

  • Dually-diagnosed persons utilize various 12SG, indicating their value in recovery.
  • Clinical implications suggest tailoring support based on individual engagement patterns and substance use severity.
