AA, NA, and Al-Anon Meetings in Mountain Home, ID

Experts say that Idaho is currently facing a “heroin tsunami”. Alcohol and crystal meth are problems here, too. It’s time for residents to get the support they need.

Recently, an article published in Idaho Statesmen profiled Cindy Schaffner, an Idaho woman who lost her daughter to drug addiction.

Her daughter, Cathryn Mason, died after a battle with drugs at the young age of 19 years. She was found with a mixture of heroin and alcohol in her system.

Unfortunately, this story is all too common in the Gem State. Each year, nearly 120 Idaho residents die of an opioid overdose. Dozens of others overdose on other drugs and are killed in drunk-driving accidents.

Addicts need to know that help is available…

There are too many addiction resources in the Greater Boise area for us to lose so many people.

The AA and NA meetings in Mountain Home, for example, offer help and support to the addicts who need it.

There are problems in Idaho, experts say that Idaho is currently facing a heroin tsunami, alcohol and crystal meth are also a problem, dozens of others overdose on other drugs and are killed in drunk driving accidents. each year nearly 120 Idaho residents die of an opioid overdose

Alcoholics Anonymous: Helping Mountain Home Residents Get Sober

Alcoholics Anonymous is an organization that has been conducting daily recovery support meetings for nearly 100 years.

Alcoholics anonymous was founded in 1935, their goal is to help alcoholics give up alcohol and empower them to help others do the same, the fellowship is centered around the 12 step program, these steps guide the alcoholic to grow spiritually, become aware of the hurt they have caused and make amends with those affected

Every day in Mountain Home, Boise, and every other city around the country, addicts gather to talk about their addictions and listen to other people’s stories. Every time a member attends a meeting, they update the group on the progress of their recovery and the steps they’ve taken to get back on the right path.

AA certainly isn’t for everyone. But, some alcoholics credit “The Program” as being the best thing that ever happened to them. The best way to determine if it’s right for you is to go to a meeting with an open mind and see how you feel.

There are no requirements for membership and every single meeting is free of charge. All you have to do is show up with a desire to get (and stay) sober.

Narcotics Anonymous: Fighting Idaho’s Drug Problem

AA isn’t the only addiction recovery organization in Idaho. There’s also Narcotics Anonymous.

Much like Alcoholics Anonymous, this group provides addicts with a place they can go to find support. But unlike AA, this one caters to those who are addicted to drugs.

Narcotics anonymous is a non profit fellowship of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem, they are recovering addicts who meet regularly to help each other stay clean, the only requirement to be a member is the desire to stop using

In NA, members get together to talk about how drugs affected their lives, why they quit (or want to quit), and the steps they’re taking to turn their lives around. The members of this organization are welcoming and compassionate people who are eager to see their peers get clean.

It doesn’t matter what your drug of choice is—prescription pills, Oxycontin, cocainecrystal meth, etc—this group will be happy to have you. All they ask is that you show up with the desire to change.
