Al-Anon Portugal is an association of family members and friends of people affected by alcoholism. Its groups offer a place to share experience, strength and hope, helping members address common challenges and find support. Al-Anon views alcoholism as a disease that affects the whole family and encourages members to work on their own recovery through the Twelve Steps, adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous. Membership is open to anyone who has a relative or friend with an alcohol problem; there are no membership fees, and groups are supported by voluntary contributions from members.

The organization helps people locate meetings by region, with details such as times and addresses, and also provides online meeting options. Its website offers information about Al-Anon’s history, principles and literature, along with personal reflections, news and resources for professionals. Alateen is also listed among its services for younger people affected by someone else’s drinking. Individual members maintain anonymity, and meeting conversations are treated as confidential.
