Alcohol anonymous groups have been a great tool in helping men and women overcome chemical and alcohol dependence in the past few decades. In order to combat an issue as complex and difficult to address as addiction, AA leaders adopt a rather simple approach. The 12-step program helps attendees who are at various stages of their addiction, and can be useful for anyone facing an addiction issue.

Quitting drugs doesn’t only place enormous strain on users physically and emotionally. Treatment centers can also have a huge financial impact on addicts. Luckily, Narcotics Anonymous (NA) programs serve as an effective and yet free alternative to rehab centers. By joining an NA program, drug users can greatly benefit from going through the faith-based 12-step program.

Dealing with alcohol addiction is a complicated task. On the one hand, the addicted individual’s health deteriorates. On the other hand, the individual’s family members suffer the pain of witnessing their loved one destroy him or herself. With Al-Anon meetings and other 12-step programs, addicts and their family no longer have to undertake the challenging task of recovery alone.

Family and friends of drug users need just as much support as the addicts. These individuals often go through a very emotionally toiling experience. Those who are able to share their experiences at Nar Anon meetings will generally feel less alone. Nar Anon meetings are also fairly informative and can provide additional information on how to approach a drug user about recovery.
