Addicts face a strange kind of misery. Like diabetics and people with cancer, they're coping with a life-threatening illness. But unlike people with more traditional diseases, addicts are frequently shunned and stigmatized. Addiction is a disease, and inpatient drug rehab at a facility such as Northpoint Recovery gives you your absolute best shot at recovery.
Rehab isn't the right – or only – choice for all addicts, though. Some addicts need extra support to maintain their sobriety after checking out of rehab. Others prefer a more individualistic approach, but rely on support groups when they need some extra help. A group local to Kalispell can help you get support on your terms when you need it.
Home › Kalispell Addiction ResourcesFor more than a century, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) has been the leading program for recovery from alcohol addiction. Meetings occur throughout the week and are free, although donations are welcome. Through AA, you'll work 12 steps toward sobriety, make amends to those you've hurt, and commit to a lifetime free of alcohol abuse.

Recovery from drugs such as meth, heroin, or prescription pills can be painful and challenging. Narcotics Anonymous (NA) builds upon the success of AA to create a program that encourages permanent and lasting recovery from drug abuse.
Participants can also join spin-off groups for specific drugs, such as Pills Anonymous and Marijuana Anonymous. There are all kinds of NA groups to choose from.
You can find many NA meetings in the Kalispell area. They include the following:

Addiction is an all-encompassing disease that, in some ways, behaves like a contagious virus. It's not just addicts who suffer. Their loved ones can become co-dependent or obsessed with getting the addict they love clean. Addicts' loved ones may be victimized by an addict's lying, stealing, and perpetual promises to get clean tomorrow. Often, though, tomorrow never comes. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon help family members and friends find ways to live happy lives even when the addict they love continues to abuse alcohol and drugs.
Both Al-Anon and Nar-Anon also sponsor two spin-off programs geared specifically for teenagers. Alateen and Narateen work to help teenagers who have a loved one struggling with the disease of addiction.
Here are the local Kalispell Al-Anon groups:

No support group can possibly meet the needs of everyone. NA is not explicitly religious, but it does make vague spiritual references to a “higher power.” Many groups also pray or meet in churches. While thousands of atheists and agnostics have successfully recovered with the assistance of NA, the model isn't right for everyone. SMART Recovery offers an alternative model, and you can find a local meeting here:

You don't have to tackle addiction alone, but you'll be stuck fighting a losing battle until you seek help. Addiction treatment gives you the skills you need to fight drug and alcohol addiction, and in so doing, gives you a meaningful chance at lasting recovery. Denial, though, can keep addicts out of treatment indefinitely. If you still don't know whether you are suffering from an addiction and need rehab, consider the following questions. If you answer yes to three or more, the odds are very high that you're an addict:
If you are in need of addiction recovery, we want you to know that you can count on us. Here at Northpoint Recovery, we understand that support groups alone often are not enough. They're usually better suited for people who have already been through rehab. It's possible that you would benefit from inpatient treatment, or outpatient rehab. However, we won't know what to recommend for you until we speak with you.
