“Help for those affected by drug dependence can be found online through incredibly dedicated organizations. Find the help you need on your road to recovery, or a group that teaches you how to help a loved-one using addictive drugs.”
~Peter Ninemire
Al-Anon/Alateen
Al-Anon is available to help families and friends of alcoholics recover from the effects of living with the problem drinking of a relative or friend. Our program of recovery is adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous and is based upon the Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions, and Twelve Concepts of Service.
