12‐step programmes ‐ several steps too far?

Abstract

This article considers the role of mutual support on acute admissions wards. Building on the authors own experience of a 12‐step specialist inpatient programme Marion identifies some of the limitations of the approach and considers how some of the positive aspects might be modified and transferred to acute inpatient wards to help people with a dual diagnosis in this setting.
