Are you using drugs often? You may have an addiction. Overcoming that addiction takes time and consistently working towards forgiveness, self-confidence, and health. Some people choose to do this through Narcotics Anonymous. It’s a 12 step program for those who use illicit drugs but is much like Alcoholics Anonymous. Is it the right plan for you? At Serenity Light Recovery, we offer support through this type of program.
How Does Narcotics Anonymous Work?
Narcotics Anonymous is a group treatment program. In it, individuals work together to remain drug-free. They meet on a routine basis to help each other to avoid drug use – and they promise to abstain from all drug use. To be a part of this effort, individuals simply have to promise not to use drugs.
The requirements to be a part of Narcotics Anonymous are simple. You just have to have an open mind and to give yourself a break while working to never use drugs again. This type of 12 step program works through a series of steps that allow an individual to overcome their addiction.
Is This Enough Care for You?
While Narcotics Anonymous offers an excellent support group, it may not be the right first step for you. That may come in the form of detox and residential care. Our team offers treatment that can help you to get to that point of being able to abstain. Most people with drug addiction are unable to do so initially due to the various complexities of addiction. Your body and brain are dependent on them. It may be impossible for you to simply stop using.
With comprehensive programs such as these, our team can help you start on the path of healing:
- Drug addiction detox
- Residential treatment center
- Intensive outpatient program
- Outpatient rehab program
- Extended stay treatment program
When you enroll in our treatment plans, you’ll work one-on-one with a team through individual therapy and group sessions. You’ll find out what is causing your addiction and learn the tools and strategies you need to stop using.
Should You Use a 12 Step Program?
Many men and women will need continuous support and ongoing recovery meetings after residential treatment programs. Narcotics Anonymous can offer you the support you need in some situations. It is one of the best programs for those looking for a local group of people who can help them. What are the benefits of using this program for ongoing support?
- Building relationships
- Finding people who understand what you’re going through
- Learn strategies for challenging situations
- Learn better communication strategies
- Build your confidence to achieve a healthy future
This type of program does not replace the traditional addiction therapy that you need from a professional. For that reason, it is not likely to be your first step in treatment. However, it can be one of the best steps for ongoing support and care. Our team may help you to find a local Narcotics Anonymous program near you to help you continue to thrive once you leave care.
The support, guidelines, and strategies provided in this type of 12 step program can give you a way to stay on top of your addiction, giving you the support you need to truly overcome what you’re facing on a daily basis.
