A 12 step program differs from some other formal addiction treatment programs in its approach and focus. Rather than focusing on the negative consequences of addiction from a social, medical and physical point of view, a 12 step program will focus on the underlying spiritual or personal crisis which may be leading to addictive behaviour.

The 12 step program has been adapted as a treatment program for many types of addiction. The 12 step program is still a popular, and many believe highly effective, form of treatment for alcohol addiction, but also for drug addiction, addiction to specific drugs, sex addiction, gambling addiction and even, most recently, email and computer addiction.
