The correct answer is therapeutic communities.

Therapeutic communities refer to a type of program used in rehabilitation centers or groups for addicts such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Overeaters Anonymous. Through therapeutic communities, individuals get an opportunity to hear about success stories and experiences of their peers, which serves as positive peer pressure for them to improve their behavior and obtain success in overcoming an addiction or improving their conduct.
