Do Drub Rehabs offer Narcotics Anonymous?
While most drug rehabs introduce the 12-step model of Alcoholics Anonymous, not all drug rehabs offer Narcotics Anonymous meetings. Networking with members of NA can help provide a peer support system where members share their experience, strength and hope overcoming drug addiction. Someone who had a terrible heroin habit may be better able to relate to a speaker who shot up with needles rather than a shot glass. Many drug rehabs have their own group therapy sessions for processing and this may be enough support to encourage individuals to share their own stories. However, introducing Narcotics Anonymous during drug rehab may help to instill the important practice of attending meetings following drug rehab. Narcotics Anonymous provides a forum for sharing experience, strength and hope in conjunction with drug use, which unless prescribed, is illegal.
