Al

Al-Anon is a worldwide fellowship that brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds, races, and walks of life, all striving to overcome the challenges and helplessness caused by being closely associated with an alcoholic. This mutual support group provides a platform for members to share their experiences and find solace, ultimately enabling them to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives. As a vital part of Al-Anon Family Groups, Alateen caters specifically to younger members, offering a safe space to exchange stories and gain a better understanding of themselves and the alcoholic.

Al-Anon/Alateen is not group therapy, but rather a support network that complements professional treatment. Meetings are open to anyone affected by someone else's drinking, and no written referral or prior notification is required. There are no dues or fees, with groups being self-supporting through voluntary contributions.

Encourage your clients to explore Al-Anon, as many individuals initially attending due to a loved one's drug addiction later discover the significance of the alcohol problem through their participation in the program
