When someone suffers from a substance abuse problem, they frequently feel as though they have lost all hope. They do not realize the types of resources that are there for them in their very own communities.
12-Step groups have helped millions of people all over the world. Organizations like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous have been instrumental in the lives of so many individuals. For families, Al-Anon has given them a place to find the support they need while trying to be there for an addicted loved one.
Our goal is to provide Moreland residents with information about addiction recovery resources in their community. Reaching out for help is one of the scariest things anyone can do, but it can also be one of the most rewarding. It is our hope that this guide will be useful for people battling alcoholism or drug addiction. Please note that we have no affiliation with any of these organizations.
Alcoholics Anonymous is an organization that has been around since 1935. It was started as a way to help people who wanted to stop drinking. They depend on a peer support system, and all of the meetings are led by other alcoholics who are in recovery.
The two men who started AA were both alcoholics themselves. They knew that if they had a way to get peer support, they would have a much better chance of being successful. Since its inception, Alcoholics Anonymous has grown to incredible levels. There is now at least one AA meeting located in almost every city in the U.S. The organization has even expanded into several other countries around the world.
People who go to AA usually find the meetings to be refreshing. It is nice to know that others face the same battles. Becoming a member is a way to connect with others and get the help that is so desperately needed.
AA meetings are usually held once a week. But there are some experts who say that for someone who is new to getting sober, it is best to attend a meeting a day for the first 90 days. This allows them to immerse themselves in the culture and get as much support as possible during the early stages of their quit.
There is no membership fee for joining AA. The groups are self-sustained, and people donate money to the cause. The only requirement for attending is for the individual to have a desire to stop drinking.
Attending a Moreland area AA meeting can be a life-changing experience. There are many different meetings to choose from. The following is a complete list for this community.

Narcotics Anonymous was started in 1955. It got its beginnings because there was a need for drug addicts to get the same type of support that people received during AA meetings. Up until this point, nothing similar existed to help people with drug addictions. NA changed all of that, and it has continued to grow throughout the years.
The principles of NA are very similar to those of AA. Both groups follow the 12 Steps, although with NA, they are a little bit different. Like AA, people who attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings never have to worry about paying a membership fee. They only need to have a desire to stop using drugs.
What is interesting about NA is that anyone with any type of addiction can attend. This includes people who are battling alcoholism. They never turn anyone away and they strive to help everyone who needs it.
NA meetings are held on a weekly basis, and they usually last between one hour and an hour and a half. When attending one for the first time, the other members will be very excited to see a new person walk through the door. It is not uncommon for several of them to befriend someone who is new so that they do not feel alone.
NA is extremely supportive, and the people are always encouraging. They know exactly what someone who is new to recovery needs to hear.
It is very easy to find Moreland area NA meetings. The organization holds several of them during the week at different times and locations. The following is a list of them in this area.

Read great recovery stories, learn about the latest treatments, and find out how addiction affects yourself and your loved ones in our blog.
Read Our BlogAl-Anon is an organization that was founded as a way to provide help and support to the families of alcoholics and addicts. Quite often, the families struggle in silence. They have so many worries and concerns and they do not always have someone to talk to about them. Attending an Al-Anon meeting can provide them with the outlet they need.
People who attend Al-Anon meetings say that they offer them hope. They get the opportunity to learn all about their loved ones’ addictions, and they also get to learn better coping skills for themselves.
There are several Al-Anon meetings in the Moreland area. There is a complete list of them below:

Alateen is a part of Al-Anon, but it offers support to young people instead of to the entire family. The reality is that teenagers, young adults and even older children can easily feel isolated when a loved one has an addiction. They rarely want to turn to their friends to talk about their troubles, and they tend to keep everything bottled up inside. Alateen gives them a way to get those feelings out into the open so that they can be dealt with appropriately.
For young people, Alateen can be life changing. It shows them that they are not alone with the challenges they face and it serves to give them hope.
There are two Alateen meetings in the Moreland area. The information for them is listed below:

It is also possible to attend Alateen meetings online. They offer many Alateen chat sessions throughout the week directly on their website. These meetings are monitored by adults, so parents can be certain that their children are safe.
Also, please remember that if none of the above options work, anyone is welcome to attend an Al-Anon meeting, regardless of their age.
Unfortunately, it is very common for people with drug addictions or alcoholism to use too much of their drug of choice. When this occurs, it is either called an overdose or alcohol poisoning.
The friends and family members of addicts are right to be concerned about a potential overdose. While it is much more common among people who relapse, the fact is that if someone is using, it can happen to them.
It is important to know what the signs of alcohol poisoning are. Also, please note that this condition is frequently mistaken for being drunk. While there are some similarities, it is possible to die from alcohol poisoning.
The signs of this condition include:
A drug overdose is also a medical emergency. For those who are unfamiliar with the signs, it can be easy to miss them.
The signs of a drug overdose include:
These signs can change depending on the type of drug the person has taken.
If you suspect that someone you love has overdosed on drugs or has alcohol poisoning, it is important to act quickly. You should not attempt to take them to the emergency room yourself. Instead, stay with them and call 911 right away. The paramedics need to get there as soon as possible.
When they arrive at the scene, tell them everything you know. Let them know which substances you believe the person has been using. That will allow them to administer the appropriate type of treatment, if needed.
For many people, the answer to addiction recovery is to go through an inpatient treatment program. The reality is that this form of care is often needed in order to get people to stop using successfully, and for the long-term.
An inpatient rehab offers people a lot of different benefits. It removes them from the environment where they used to use. It also teaches them that it is possible to live a full and happy life without the use of any type of substance.
A lot of people need to go through drug and alcohol detox as the first step in their recovery. This is completely dependent upon the type of substance they were using. For example, people who use the following will need to detox when they quit:
Detoxing serves a few different purposes. It helps people get through withdrawals a little easier. It can also help them avoid experiencing some of the complications that can go along with withdrawal. Most of all, it gives them the best possible chance for a successful recovery.
Once a person has detoxed, it is important to receive therapy to help them process their recovery. A therapist will help them determine the cause of their addiction. If it was caused by a co-occurring disorder, that will be treated as well. They also should participate in group therapy and other forms of treatment. This is what will happen during drug and alcohol rehab.
Rehab is a vital part of the recovery process. Without it, people are very likely to relapse because they lack the coping skills to stay away from substances.
