Alejandro Comparan · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The twelve-step approach, while widely used and supported within many communities, is not considered a scientifically based treatment approach in the same way as cognitive-behavioral therapy, community reinforcement approaches, and abstinence-based treatment approaches. These latter approaches have a stronger basis in scientific research and evidence-based practices.
