“Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don’t know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!”
-Anne Frank
There are so many ways to recover from a drug or alcohol addiction. There are many resources available in Burien. Perhaps you’ve been struggling with your substance abuse problem for quite some time, but you feel stuck. You’re not sure what you can do, but you need to know what your options are.
The good news is that you’re definitely not alone. So many others have felt the same way you feel right now. They discovered how much help was there for them in Burien, and are in recovery. You can take the same exact steps in your own life. You just need to know where to start.
There are several organizations that are set up to help you reach your sobriety goals. We’d like to help you explore your options and choose the best route for your situation.
For those who are addicted to drugs, their addictions can seem endless. They may try time and time again to quit, without success. This can make people feel that they’re trapped; imprisoned to their substance abuse problems.
Narcotics Anonymous was founded as a way to provide hope to these individuals. NA is a nonprofit fellowship for people who struggle with all types of addictions. This includes those who are alcoholics. They encourage weekly meetings with other recovering addicts as a way to offer encouragement and support.
You only have to meet one requirement to become a member – to have a desire to stop using. You don’t have to pay any fees or dues to participate in meetings. NA encourages people to give themselves a break and keep an open mind. They incorporate real-life solutions to meet people where they are and help them get and stay clean.
You may be surprised to learn that NA meetings are so laid back and non-formal. You don’t feel out of place at all, and everyone will make you feel welcome. You also won’t feel pressured to share your story until you’re ready. No one will make you talk in front of the group until you say you want to.
The people at NA meetings are all very open with one another. They learn very quickly that the meeting is a place where they can be frank about what they’re going through. It’s a safe place to share their feelings and struggles. The people are not quick to judge, because they’ve been through it all themselves.
If you’re new to recovery, the recommendation is to try and go to 90 meetings in 90 days. That might seem like a lot, but it helps to immerse yourself in the program. You’ll also get to meet new people are who are all focused on healing and getting and staying clean.
You can find many Burien NA meetings in your area. Don’t worry if you don’t like the first meeting you choose. All you need to do is keep trying different ones. Eventually, you’ll find one where you feel comfortable and supported.

In 1935, two men named Dr. Bob and Bill W. founded Alcoholics Anonymous in Akron, Ohio. They started with one meeting between two alcoholics, and from there, the program grew. Today, it’s available in every country all over the world.
AA is self-supporting, nonprofessional and apolitical. Anyone from any race, gender and religious affiliation is welcome to attend the meetings. There are also no age or education requirements. The only necessity is to have a desire to stop drinking. The program doesn’t charge any membership fees or dues.
There are two different types of AA meetings – open and closed. Anyone can attend an open meeting; even if they don’t have a drinking problem. Closed meetings are reserved for members who are alcoholics only.
There are many different types of AA meetings. The most common one is a topic discussion meeting. The person who leads it will choose the topic, and members will take turns sharing their experiences. There’s no need for you to feel pressured into sharing during a meeting. If you don’t want to speak, you can just pass the turn to someone else.
You may feel more comfortable choosing a meeting that is for beginners when you’re new to AA. That way, there will be others there for their first times too. Even if you don’t attend a beginners meeting, try not to be too nervous. The other members will make sure you feel welcomed and comfortable.
You’ll notice that the people in AA tend to rely on a trust one another. Some of their deepest darkest secrets will be shared during their meeting times. You may even develop some new friendships when you become a member.
It’s very easy to locate Burien AA meetings, and there are many near you. This makes it convenient to find a day and time that works well with your schedule.

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 BlogThere are a few subtle differences between AA and NA. Both follow a version of the 12 Steps, which we’ll go over in just a moment. However, they may use different methods to reach the same goal, which is getting sober or clean.
Whether you choose Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous, the goal is to get support. You should opt for the group that will meet your needs and work best for you.
The 12 Steps of AA are as follows:
You’ll notice that the 12 Steps of NA are similar, but there are some differences. They are:
Unfortunately, the needs of an addict’s family can often fall by the wayside. The struggles they face are very real, and families need to have a place to get support too. That’s why Al-Anon is such an important resource for them.
Al-Anon meetings are held on a weekly basis in various locations all over the country. Family members are welcome to come and listen to others share about their experiences. When they feel comfortable enough to talk with the group, they can also find the support they need.
Dealing with a loved one’s addiction can be such a troubling time. No one understands what it’s like until they’ve lived through it. Support groups like Al-Anon remind families that they’re not alone.
Attending Al-Anon can be so helpful, and there are many meetings in the Burien area. You can find them here:

Even though teenagers and older children are always welcome to attend Al-Anon, they may not feel comfortable. It’s difficult to sit in a room of adults and share how you feel when you’re young. That’s why it’s so important for them to have a place they can go with others their own age.
Alateen meetings were created for just this purpose. They allow young people to meet together once a week and talk about the challenges they’re facing. It’s helpful for teens to know that they’re not alone, and these meetings get them the chance to make new friends too.
There are several Alateen meetings that are in or around the Burien area for you to choose from. If you know a young person whose life has been impacted because of addiction, these meetings can help.

Take one of our addiction quizzes to find out if you or someone you care about needs help today.
Anyone who uses drugs can be at risk for an overdose. There are two situations that could put you at a greater risk. If you’re using a drug for the first time, you could accidently take too much. Also, if you attempt to quit using without professional help, it could mean you’re in danger of overdosing if you relapse.
The problem with alcohol poisoning is that it often looks like drunkenness. This can cause bystanders to not take the situation seriously, which can have fatal consequences. If you regularly drink excessively, you could be at risk for alcohol poisoning.
If you believe that someone you love has overdosed on drugs, or has alcohol poisoning, act quickly. Even if you have doubts, it’s best to call 911. It would be better for you to contact them and be wrong than to ignore the situation and be right.
It is possible to survive a drug overdose or alcohol poisoning in many cases. But those who survive it usually only do because they were able to get medical help right away. You could save your friend or family member’s life.
Most people with drug or alcohol addictions need to start their recoveries by getting professional treatment. Support groups and other forms of treatment can be helpful, but they’re often not enough in the beginning.
This may be the first time you’ve thought about treatment, or you may have been in rehab before. Either way, everyone can benefit from going to rehab. There, you’ll have access to the tools you need to remain in recovery long-term.
For many people, a drug or alcohol detox is the first step in recovering from addiction. It’s necessary to address the physical aspect of it right away. This means getting help for withdrawals, and possibly avoiding any serious complications that can occur.
Your doctor will talk with you about the best way to treat your withdrawal symptoms. You will probably experience a combination of medical and holistic detox methods. Most experts agree this is the best approach.
After detox, you should continue on to a drug or alcohol rehab. This is where you’ll experience most of your therapy. You’ll work with a therapist in a one-on-one setting, as well as participate in group therapy sessions.
Your therapist will treat you for any co-occurring disorder you may be dealing with. These can be diagnosed or undiagnosed mental health conditions that frequently accompany addictions. For instance, if you are battling anxiety or depression, this could be the underlying cause of your addiction.
Going to a rehabilitation center is extremely important, and you’ll find that it’s very rewarding. It helps to talk about the issues you’re facing in your personal life, and taking this step now will contribute to your long-term success.
You may be thinking that getting professional treatment sounds like the best option for you. If you are, we want to offer you our assistance, here at Northpoint Recovery. We’ve had the opportunity to work with so many people who were in situations just like yours. They had lost all hope, but before long, that hope was restored.
The decision you make today could change the course of your entire life. We want to encourage you to make the right decision and get help. You don’t have to quit using on your own, and there are so many people waiting to assist you.
Our admissions coordinators are here to help you get started with treatment the right way. They'll verify your health insurance, help set up travel arrangements, and make sure your transition into treatment is smooth and hassle-free.
