This is a list of twelve-step groups based on the set of guiding principles for recovery from addictive, compulsive, or other behavioral problems that was originally developed by Alcoholics Anonymous.[1] The twelve-step method has been adapted widely by fellowships of people recovering from various addictions, compulsive behaviors, and mental health problems. Additionally, some programs have adapted the twelve-step approach in part.

Programs patterned after Alcoholics Anonymous

Fellowships in this section follow reasonably close variations of the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Programs partially patterned after Alcoholics Anonymous

Fellowships in this section use material from Alcoholics Anonymous, and credit its influence but do not necessary follow both the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of AA.
