Effect of On-Site 12-Step Meetings on Outcomes among Outpatient Clients

Onsite 12 step meetings improve outpatient treatment outcomes:
On-site 12-step enhanced 12-step attendance, especially during treatment, and predicted continuous abstinence for the post-treatment year. Holding 12-step meetings on-site is a low-cost strategy that programs should consider to foster post-treatment remission maintenance.
I'm a little ambivalent about this, only because it would be so easy to have a lame meeting that serves the treatment program rather than the recovering community. It's my experience that this is the case more often than not. A case of the good being the enemy of the best. Easy to do. Doing it is good. But, doing it really well is not easy.
