Alcoholics Anonymous stands as the most extensive among the twelve-step programs, from which all others are derived, with Narcotics Anonymous following closely behind. The majority of members in twelve-step programs are in recovery from alcohol or drug addiction. However, most twelve-step programs also tackle conditions beyond substance addiction. For instance, the third-largest program, Al-Anon, provides support to family members and friends of individuals dealing with alcoholism and other addictions. Approximately twenty percent of twelve-step programs focus on recovery from substance addiction, while the remaining eighty percent address a range of issues from financial debt to mental health concerns. Assuming that the effectiveness of twelve-step methods in addressing one area applies universally or to another domain would be a misconception.

These organizations do not adhere to the twelve-step recovery approach, although their participants may still participate in twelve-step gatherings. It is typical for individuals in recovery to explore various meetings and support groups. What proves effective for one individual may not necessarily be effective for another, so experimenting with different meeting formats can be beneficial for those striving to recover from substance abuse.
