Question by cocovan: Looking for a support group for addiction, but NOT Narcotics Anonymous..?
A friend is in early recovery from heroin addiction. He HATES Narcotics Anonymous meetings, because the participants sound like they are glorifying their past use. I am looking for support groups in the NYC area that are not part of N.A. or the 12-Step approach. Something run by volunteers, not professional. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

Answer by Pick A Winner
There is an organization like you describe called Smart Recovery. It is an alternative to 12 steps and the meetings are for people looking to change any behaviors they want to stop, not just drug addiction. This is the link:

Narconon is a Scientology program that believes in saunas, vitamins, and religion to cure substance abuse. Narcotics Anonymous is vastly different. There are very few requirements, religion is encouraged, but not necessary. This is just a general overview. Additional information, insights, and responses very welcome. Thanks for watching.

Answer by Clemond N. Flinch
Psst. Hey psst. It is anonymous dopey. Just kidding, I am in Narconon and it has changed my life beyond all expectations. I have finally gotten my priorities together and the world itself seems so much brighter. The program has a well outlined process for helping new members including a revolutionized detox program that focuses on more of a holistic treatment and thetal removal. Please check out the info and best of luck!!!!

Well this is my first step in reaching out for help. I am addicted to percocets and if i cant get them I take vicodin. I started taking them for pain in my jaw. I have seen many doctors and none of them can found the problem. I still have pain in my jaw on an almost daily basis. But I started also taking them for the high along with taking them for the pain. I have been doing this for about 9 months regularly now and I want to stop. SInce doctors couldnt find the solution to my problem with my jaw they stopped prescribing me pain meds so I resorted to getting them off the streets. I dont want to take them anymore or at least only take them when I absolutely have to for the pain. I have no health insurance so I cannot afford to go to the doctor for help. I also am a single mom so I cannot leave my children to go to a rehab or detox facility. Im scared of what they are doing to me and that something has taken over my life. I feel like such a loser for getting myself in this position. I have always been against drugs but yet here I am addicted to them. I dont know the proper way to taper off and Im scared to go cold turkey. I did that for a week a couple of months ago but then my jaw started hurting and I gave in and took percocet and havent stopped since then. I need help but I dont know what to do. I do know that I know longer want to be addicted. I am beginning to dislike myself because I feel like such a horrible person for getting myself to this point. Can anyone give my some advice on how to get off of these without medication from a doctor? Can anyone give me any advice at all that might help me?
