Self-help groups can complement
and extend the effects of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation
program. The most prominent self-help groups are those affiliated
with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), and
Cocaine Anonymous (CA), all of which are based on the 12-step
model, and Smart RecoveryŽ. Most drug and alcohol addiction
treatment programs and rehabs encourage patients to participate
in a self-help group during and after formal treatment. This
will give the drug addict or alcoholic their best chance in
developing long-term coping skills so they can maintain a healthy
and happy life without their drugs and/or alcohol.
It is also very important to remember that Family and friends
can play critical roles in motivating individuals with drug
and alcohol addictions to enter and stay in a alcoholism or
drug treatment program. Family therapy is important, especially
for adolescents (See Approaches to Treatment Section). Involvement
of a family member in an individual's treatment program can
strengthen and extend the benefits of the program.

Grammy Award Winner Rick James Dies
Grammy Award Winner Rick James Dies
Published: 2004-08-09
Over the years, western New York has produced a plethora of musicians. On Friday August 6 Buffalo lost one of its native sons – the man who brought us "Super Freak" and "Give it to Me Baby" – Grammy Award winner Rick James. The man credited with creating punk fund died Friday in his sleep. James' family believes he died of heart failure but an autopsy was inconclusive as to the cause of death.
James was born James Johnson on February 1, 1948 in Buffalo, New York. The third of eight children, the Johnson family were raised strict Catholics.
Obituaries: Freak success no better with coke
Sex, drugs and cross-dressing were for James not so much occupational hazards as his life's work - articles of faith to be affirmed at every opportunity. Thus Mary Jane (1978) spoke of the joys of smoking marijuana, while Give It To Me Baby (1981) was not a request for dinner.
The lyrics of his biggest hit, Super Freak (1981), reveal the general drift of his mind: "She's a very kinky girl/ the kind you don't take home to mother/ She'll never let your spirits down/ once you get her off the street."
Super Freak reached No. 3 in the American charts.
