Narcotics Anonymous

Narcotics Anonymous is for those with major drug problems. Recovering addicts run it and help each other stay clean. It involves complete abstinence from all drugs. It doesn’t matter what or how much you used, who your connections were or what you have done in the past, only in what you want to do about your problem.

SMART Family and Friends

The SMART Recovery Family & Friends (F&F) Programme offers an evidence-based approach to support individuals with a loved one struggling with addiction.
SMART F&F includes tools from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy in combination with the highly acclaimed CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) programme.

LifeRing Secular Recovery
|
The basic LifeRing philosophy is summarised in three words: Sobriety, Secularity, and Self-Help.
Sobriety.
If you want to stay sober and in recovery, then you are welcome in LifeRing!
By sobriety, we mean complete abstinence from alcohol and other addictive drugs that are not medically indicated.
In LifeRing, people who once misused a variety of addictive substances work side by side on their recovery.
Secularity.
Your religion or lack of it remains your private business in LifeRing.
We do not use prayer or talk about religion.
Our recovery process relies on sober-to-sober connections with other people.
What is important is that each person takes responsibility for their own recovery and is available to give support to others.
Self Help.
We share ideas and insights through sober conversations, both in and outside of meetings.
From these discussions, we each build our own personal recovery plan, tailored to our particular background and needs.
