Al-Anon is the world-wide Twelve-step program and partner program to AA for families and others whose loved ones, or other significant persons have problems with alcoholism. It is also used by others who have people with substance abuse in their lives when more specific programs (e.g. Nar-Anon) are not available.
In the Northern Virginia area call 703 534 7057; a volunteer should be available 24 hours. For an online list of meetings go to info@alanonva.com
