Addiction Treatment Programs Help

I may have an addiction. What can be done?

There are currently over 1200 self-help organizations, some undoubtedly more effective than others. Most do not have fees but may pass the hat for a few coins to help them pay room rent etc.

There are a great many good treatment facilities around if you have health  insurance or the patience to wait for a government opening in a treatment center.

Many of these paid addiction treatment Programs and detox centers are a great way to arrest your addiction; please take advantage of any good help you can to accomplish this. At the end of the day, though, you will probably be well advised to follow up with a self-help ongoing support group.

Here are a few of the main addiction treatment programs with a good track record that allow affordable assistance with addiction recovery.

• Alcoholics Anonymous
  • Al-Anon and Al-A-Teen for family members
• Narcotics Anonymous
  • Nar-Anon for family members
• Gamblers Anonymous
  • GamAnon for family members in some locations
• Overeaters Anonymous
• Sexaholics Anonymous
• Cocaine Anonymous
• Debtors Anonymous
• and many more

Consult your local telephone directory to or contact your local crisis line, check community listings or ask your doctor for a recommendation. If all else fails call a local AA office, they can usually point you in the right direction.

If you need assistance email us with your concern and your town or city and we will be happy to find you a contact. All queries will be treated as confidential.

Please leave your comments below, and I will be sure to answer them. If you want one of the publications but truly cannot afford it leave a comment with your email address and I’ll send you a free one…

This website is about recovery – not making money – but it wouldn’t hurt to pay a few web hosting charges if you  decided to visit one of the sponsors ads… I have kept outside ads to a minimum so it’s not so frustrating to read. Hate those pages with an ad between every paragraph.

Have a great One Day at a Time! Dean 🙂
