For those dealing with the addiction of a loved one, support and self-care can be immensely important. 

In the midst of a loved one's addiction, experts say that finding your own support group or structure can help guide you through the emotionally vulnerable time. 

There are a countless number of support groups, support chat rooms, blogs, and even books exist for the family members of an addict. 

Here in the Valley, two of the most recognizable support groups Al-Anon and Nar-Anon, both operate several support groups. Enough so that there is a meeting scheduled every night of the week somewhere in the Valley. 

Al-Anon is traditionally known as the companion to Alcoholics Anonymous. Al-Anon operates as a twelve step program for the family members of alcoholics. However, Al-Anon Youngstown says that they frequently deal with loved ones of drug addicts as well, and simply interchange the word "alcohol" and "drugs". 

Meanwhile, Nar-Anon, the companion to Narcotics Anonymous, is a support group for those with family members who are addicted to narcotics. 

Celebrate Recovery is a national movement that combines the 12 steps of addiction therapy with biblical teachings. It was designed as a program to help those struggling with hurts, habits and hang-ups.

Locally, Celebrate Recovery operates in several registered churches, and accepts those who are addicted, family members, and children. Participants do not have to be members of the churches.
