The authors start by discussing the origins of twelve-step programs and their evolution to include sex addiction. They then describe various sex addiction-specific twelve-step groups, highlighting their similarities and differences. This chapter then explores how to effectively integrate the twelve-steps into therapy, identifies significant milestones in the twelve-step program that benefit from therapeutic support, and discusses ways the recovery community can be used to support clinical work.
