Drug Rehab and Narcotics Anonymous
Since the 1950s, Narcotics Anonymous (NA) has been providing drug-addicted individuals with an open-mic platform to share their experiences on the road to recovery. With its beginnings in Los Angeles, this unique member-run and member-supported organization has strengthened its cause to include nearly every region around the world. Books and pamphlets are now published in over 34 languages with new translations in the works all the time.
The Canyon recognizes the long-standing impact of Narcotics Anonymous in creating an effective atmosphere for drug rehabilitation, which is why NA meetings and methods are incorporated into our treatment programs.
What Narcotics Anonymous Has to Offer Those in Drug Rehab
The proven system of nonjudgmental peer support encourages complete abstinence from all drugs and alcohol by way of the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. While group meetings are the primary service offered by the organization, the core concepts involved in overcoming addiction are the most crucial elements. Being able to admit you have a problem, a desire to stop using, a willingness to learn new behaviors, making amends for any harm you have done, and helping others on the path to recovery are the foundations for lasting change.
Membership is free and open to anyone who thinks they may have a problem with addiction.
What Narcotics Anonymous Offers After Drug Rehab
Rehab is just the beginning-once you've completed your stay at a residential facility you'll most likely be returning to the same or similar environment you were in while you were using. Undoubtedly, adjusting to your life from a drug-free point of view can be overwhelming, which is why NA emphasizes working with a higher, spiritual power to overcome the "disease of addiction." Whichever spiritual power you connect with is fine, so long as it's one that is loving and compassionate. encouragement, and confidence in your ability to stay clean.
Sponsors are another integral part of the recovery mission: a one-on-one supportive person that helps you through recovery and the Twelve Steps by sharing personal experiences, and encouragement, and confidence in your ability to stay clean.
Maintaining a constant supply of the drug, failing in attempts to stop using, loss of interest in usual activities, and involvement in risky behaviors while under the influence are all further signs of addiction.
Narcotics Anonymous and Drug Rehab: Growing Every Year
True to its name, NA keeps no records of membership or meeting attendance, ensuring everyone remains anonymous. So the only surefire way to measure growth in the organization is by the number of official meetings in a given year. In 1983 - NA's 30th anniversary - almost 3,000 meetings were held in over 12 different countries. By 2002, groups in over 100 countries ran over 30,000 weekly meetings, and in 2007 almost 44,000 meetings could be found in 127 countries.
Narcotics Anonymous and Drug Rehab: A Universal Approach
The popularity of the program is easy to understand once you've attended a meeting - everyone is just like you, a recovering addict with a desire to lead a productive, drug-free life who just needs a little push in the right direction. Men and women, young and old, the unemployed and CEO's can all be found at your neighborhood meetings.
Drug Rehab and Narcotics Anonymous at The Canyon
As part of your comprehensive treatment program at The Canyon, NA meetings and the Twelve Steps to sobriety are introduced early as the core components to create and sustain a drug-free lifestyle. Our holistic therapy approach expounds on these traditions with the Healing Life Program, helping you develop a positive relationship with yourself.
The Canyon has a number of groups that are regularly scheduled each week, including: meditation, primary single gender therapy, yoga, art, equine, Toltec or awareness, boundaries, 12-Step program, ropes and challenge tower, and combined gender therapy. Experiential work is the essence of our approach to the therapeutic process, which The Canyon incorporates into all our groups as well as individual therapy sessions.
This balanced approach allows healing to begin within each hemisphere of the mind, creating deep neurological imprints that can alleviate some of the damage caused by drug abuse. If you're ready to get started, call us today at .
