TWELVE STEPS PROGRAM
The Twelve Steps Program is a recovery program adopted by Community House Damaris to lead our participants and our staff in their healing journey. Our program participants attend a weekly meeting of the Twelve Steps Program at our Recovery Day Program. We also believe that all people are in need of healing and that our caregivers should be willing to do what we ask of our beneficiaries. For this reason, we also hold a second Twelve Steps Program, called the Formation of Servants, exclusively for our staff and interns.
While the Twelve Steps Program offered in our Day Program is non-religious, the SA Foundation’s Formation of Servants combines the study of Biblical scriptures with the practice of the Twelve Steps Program. The program is a forty-week journey that encourages participants to surrender to God as he heals their past, submit to His loving authority, and entrust their future to His mercy and grace.
