Many treatment programs are open in the area and nearby towns. When you are ready to begin your recovery journey, you will want to surround yourself with a network of supportive family and friends. If you aren’t close to them, currently, you’ll find support in your treatment program and peer support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous. Alcoholics Anonymous began helping people get and stay sober in the 1930s. Narcotics Anonymous developed over the following decades using the AA format to help people addicted to different substances have a similar program. Membership in AA and NA is free, and the only requirement is a desire to stop using drugs and alcohol. In meetings, members share their recovery stories to help themselves remain accountable and to inspire others; there are no professional counselors in the programs. You are welcome to share when you are ready, but you might want to listen at first. Regular attendance at recovery meetings may help you avoid relapse. Peer support can be vital to success because other people in recovery can better understand what you are experiencing than family and friends who do not have a substance use disorder. AA and NA hold meetings in most communities in Florida, and online meetings are available too; feel free to attend several different meetings to find one that feels right to you. Your recovery will have a sturdy foundation when you begin with a drug rehab Fort Walton program.
