Looking for a Support Group for Addiction, but NOT Narcotics Anonymous..?
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.

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:
