AA Meetings in Gresham

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is the world's most popular recovery program, and for good reason. Thousands, if not millions, of alcoholics recover each year simply by following AA's 12 steps. The program encourages personal responsibility, making amends to those you've hurt, and a life of long-term sobriety. You can do the program on your own, or as part of a more comprehensive treatment plan. To find the closest meeting to you, follow this link.

NA Meetings in Gresham

Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is built around a model identical to AA, but program participants focus on sobriety from drugs such as PCP, meth, heroin, crack, and cocaine, as well as prescription medications and marijuana. NA also provides drug-specific addiction support groups. Cocaine Anonymous, for example, caters exclusively to the needs of cocaine addicts. Find your local meeting here.

Al-Anon and Nar-Anon Meetings in Gresham

Addicts aren't the only ones who suffer as a result of drug or alcohol addiction. Loved ones spend endless time worrying about addicts, trying to get them into recovery, and trying to support them when addiction leads to life challenges. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon are designed to meet the needs of family and friends, helping them establish boundaries and protect themselves even if the addict they love never chooses a life of sobriety.

Drug Support Groups in Gresham

NA remains the most popular option for getting sober, and there's no denying its effectiveness. The program, though, isn't for everyone. It embraces a “higher power” that may be distasteful to non-religious people, though the program does not endorse any specific religion. Likewise, some people find the emphasis on steps off-putting or strange.

Reasons to Seek Help for Addiction

No one aspires to become a drug addict or alcoholic, but for many people, addiction is a transformative experience that enables them to appreciate sober living and hone in on their dreams. To move forward, though, you have to be willing to seek help. Doing so is a courageous act that has the power to permanently change your life for the better.

Many addicts struggle with denial; indeed, denial is part of the disease of addiction. It doesn't matter what drug you use. All that matters is how your use affects your life. If you can answer yes to three or more of the following questions, you are probably an addict:

  • Do you have a history of relapsing?
