Drug Addiction Is a Family Disease
Addiction affects not only the person struggling with substance use, but also the family members and friends who love them. Nar-Anon Family Groups are designed for those who have experienced fear, frustration, or desperation because of someone else’s addiction.
At Nar-Anon, you are not alone. Members come together to share their experience, strength, and hope with others who understand the challenges of loving someone affected by addiction. Meetings provide a confidential, supportive environment where participants can focus on their own well-being and learn healthier ways to respond to circumstances they cannot control.
The Nar-Anon program is based on the Twelve Steps and offers a spiritual, rather than religious, approach to finding greater serenity and peace of mind. Meetings are peer-led, with no professionals or experts, and all participants are treated with respect, confidentiality, and anonymity.
Narateen, part of the Nar-Anon program, is also available for teenagers who are affected by someone else’s addiction.
A Nar-Anon Family Group in Thousand Oaks meets every Thursday from 7:30–9:00 PM via Zoom. There are no dues or fees to participate.
