Alcoholism and Drug Addiction affect the entire family, not just users. There are many helpful resources for Alcohol/Drug Abusers and for the friends and family that are trying to help them.
Alcohol Anonymous is an international mutual aid fellowship with the stated purpose of enabling its members to “stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety.” AA is nonprofessional, self-supporting, and apolitical. Its only membership requirement is a desire to stop drinking.
Al-Anon Family Groups is a “worldwide fellowship that offers a program of recovery for the families and friends of alcoholics, whether or not the alcoholic recognizes the existence of a drinking problem.
Narcotics Anonymous is a “nonprofit fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem”. Narcotics Anonymous uses a traditional 12-step program and is the second-largest 12-step organization.
Cocaine Anonymous is a twelve-step program for people who seek recovery from drug addiction. It is patterned very closely after Alcoholics Anonymous, although the two groups are unaffiliated.
Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered, 12 step recovery program for anyone struggling with hurt, pain or addiction of any kind.
Secular Organizations for Sobriety (SOS) is a program that stresses the need to place the highest priority on sobriety and uses mutual support to assist members in achieving this goal. SOS represents an alternative to the spiritually-based addiction recovery programs.
