What term describes a gradual approach to introducing individuals to the twelve-step recovery process?

• A. Titration twelve step facilitation
• B. Thirteenth stepping
• C. Two stepping
• D. Social detox

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is gradually introducing someone to the 12-step recovery process by pacing exposure to its components. This approach uses the concept of titration—starting with small, manageable steps and steadily increasing involvement as the person becomes more comfortable and engaged. In practice, titration in twelve-step facilitation means you begin with basic orientation to the 12-step philosophy and perhaps light activities, then progressively add elements like attending meetings, reading about the steps, and eventually pursuing sponsor support and step work. The goal is to reduce overwhelm, build motivation, and improve sustained participation by matching the pace to the individual’s readiness.

So the term that describes this gradual introduction is titration twelve-step facilitation. The other options don’t fit this concept: thirteenth stepping refers to inappropriate behavior in some groups, two stepping is a dance, and social detox denotes a different process unrelated to gradually introducing someone to the 12-step framework.
