Addiction is a painful and often debilitating disease with the potential to cause unimaginable pain. One of the cruel ironies of this disease is that, the longer you remain addicted, the more likely you are to refuse treatment. Addicts frequently believe they're beyond redemption and help, and may avoid rehab because they feel such shame about the direction of their lives. Rehab, though, is the most effective treatment option, and a place such as Northpoint Recovery can help you begin putting your life back together.
Support groups play a key role in the journey. Your support system can supplement what you've learned in rehab, or can serve as a stop-gap measure until you have the time or money to attend inpatient treatment. A local group offers you support when you need it, maximizing your chances of getting clean.
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) has been around for more than a century, and has helped million of alcoholics get clean in that time. Participants work through the program's 12 steps, which encourage personal accountability, healing, and permanent abstinence from alcohol. AA meetings are available at all times of the day, which means you can probably find a support group whenever you need it. To find an Alcoholics Anonymous group near you, click this link.
Narcotics Anonymous (NA) relies on a model very similar to AA's, and its 12 steps are almost identical to those of Alcoholics Anonymous. NA also sponsors drug-specific groups such as Cocaine Anonymous and Marijuana Anonymous. To find a local group, follow this link.
Addicts often spend months, or even years, refusing to seek help. Even when an addict immediately pursues assistance for his or her addiction, though, addiction wreaks havoc on loved ones. Friends and family may be endlessly lied to, stolen from, or ignored. They may wonder if their relationship with the addict will ever be the same. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon offer support to loved ones, encouraging them to set boundaries and work toward happy, independent lives. These groups also sponsor groups specifically designed for teenagers – Alateen and Narateen.

NA isn't right for everyone. Some addicts don't like step-based programs, while others are uncomfortable with the programs vaguely religious references to a “higher power.” In other cases, addicts simply want an additional program to supplement their regular NA meetings. If you need an alternative or supplement to Narcotics Anonymous, consider a Smart Recovery program.
AA uses a model almost identical to NA, so like NA, it's not right for everyone. You may also want a group with a slightly different philosophy so you can decide which model works best for your needs.
No matter who you've hurt, how hopeless you feel, or how daunting recovery seems, treatment works. Addiction is a disease, not something you willingly choose, and support groups can help you begin fighting back against this terrible disease. Many addicts, though, struggle with denial for months or even years before seeking help. Denial is a common symptom of addiction, but denying your addiction will never make it go away. Still unsure whether you need help? If you can answer yes to three or more of the following questions, you may be an addict:
