Narcotics Anonymous (NA)

Al-Anon Meetings

Al-Anon is a support group for individuals who are affected by someone else's drinking. These meetings provide a safe, non-judgmental space for family members, friends, and loved ones of alcoholics to share their experiences and gain strength from others facing similar challenges. Through the Al-Anon 12-step program, participants learn how to cope with the impact of alcohol addiction on their lives, find emotional support, and focus on their own well-being.

Alateen Meetings

Alateen is a support group specifically for young people (typically ages 12–18) who are affected by a family member's alcoholism. These meetings provide a space for teenagers to talk about their experiences, connect with others who understand their struggles, and develop healthy coping strategies.
