Self-Help Groups

Life Line recommends that you begin to attend self-help groups as soon as possible in the recovery process. This is because alcoholism and addictions affect the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of life. We believe a successful recovery program too should address each of these areas. There are hundreds of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous groups in the area at all times of the day and night and in all areas. Also available are SMART recovery groups for those who believe a more cognitive approach would work better for them. If used as intended, the two programs teach principles that should be compatible with one another. They simply emphasize different aspects of sobriety.
