Those who are addicted to harder drugs may attend Narcotics Anonymous, which is another 12-step program. The 12 steps of NA are the same as the 12 steps of AA. They ask members to turn their addictions over to a higher power, admit to previous mistakes and reach out to others that may still be suffering. There are over 67,000 NA meetings in 139 countries. Unfortunately, there are not currently any NA meetings in the Kodiak area. However, new chapters of NA are beginning all of the time.

Self-Management for Addiction Recovery or SMART Recovery is the largest program that provides those who are suffering from addiction with an alternative to the 12 steps. It discourages looking outward to a higher power to conquer addiction, and it focuses on self-reliance and self-empowerment. SMART Recovery uses a 4-point system that includes building motivation, living a balanced life, managing emotions and behaviors and coping with urges. While there are not currently any meetings in the Kodiak area, there are many meetings online on their website.

Al-Anon (established in 1951) and Nar-Anon (established in 1968) are the 12-step groups that are specifically for friends, relatives and loved ones of those in recovery. Supporting someone in recovery can be emotionally exhausting, and these people often need to be supported themselves. In meetings, the children, parents, spouses, siblings, relatives and friends of those in recovery get together to share their experiences. Unfortunately, there are not currently any Al-Anon or Nar-Anon meetings near Kodiak. However, new chapters of these groups start all the time.
