Some guests like to stay connected to meetings during their time here. Others find support through a wider mix of connection, wellbeing practices, learning, family support or professional support.
Different Paths
Recovery support can look different for different people.
Some guests stay closely connected to 12-step meetings such as AA, NA, or CA. Others prefer non-12-step options such as SMART Recovery. Some use a combination of meetings, peer support, coaching, wellbeing practices, or other professional input.
Pasos is open to supporting individuals in discovering what best supports them.

Meeting Pathways



12-Step Meetings
AA, NA, and CA may suit guests who value shared experience, peer connection, sponsorship, and a structured fellowship model.



SMART Recovery
SMART Recovery may suit guests looking for a practical, non-12-step approach focused on tools, self-management, and moving forward.

Other Support That May Help
Meetings are one form of support. Some guests also find it helpful to stay connected to other kinds of recovery support while at Pasos.



Recovery Coaching
Some guests may benefit from practical, forward-focused support that helps them stay connected to goals, routines, and what comes next.



Wellbeing Practices
Movement, routine, rest, time outdoors, and reflection can all play a part in supporting steadiness and balance during recovery.



Professional Support
For some guests, it remains important to stay connected to therapists, doctors, or other professionals alongside their wider recovery pathway.
