1(800) 615-1067Although Narcotics Anonymous (NA) can be a helpful resource for individuals seeking to quit drugs, it is not the only option. Here are some tips for quitting drugs without NA:
Seek professional help: A healthcare professional can help you develop a personalized treatment plan that includes counseling, medication-assisted treatment, and other resources to help you quit drugs.
Build a support network: Surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people can be an important factor in achieving and maintaining sobriety. Consider joining a support group or reaching out to friends and family members who can provide encouragement and support.
Find healthy ways to cope with stress: Drugs are often used as a way to cope with stress and negative emotions. Finding healthy ways to cope, such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with friends and family, can help you manage stress and avoid relapse.
Set achievable goals: Setting small, achievable goals can help you build confidence and motivation as you work towards sobriety. Celebrate your successes along the way.
Take care of yourself: Eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly can all help improve your physical and mental health, which can in turn improve your ability to quit drugs.
Consider other support groups: While NA can be a helpful resource, there are other support groups available, such as SMART Recovery or Refuge Recovery, that may be a better fit for you.
It is important to remember that quitting drugs is a challenging process, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. However, by seeking professional help, building a support network, finding healthy ways to cope with stress, setting achievable goals, taking care of yourself, and considering other support groups, you can increase your chances of success.
