Why NA Works for Addicts in Elmendorf

The Twelve Steps of NA provide a roadmap for personal growth that has worked for millions of people. These steps address not just drug use, but the underlying attitudes, behaviors, and spiritual condition that fuel addiction.
Regular meeting attendance, working with a sponsor, and getting involved in service are the three pillars that most recovering addicts in Elmendorf credit with keeping them clean. Together, these practices create a life worth living without drugs.
