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.
