Understanding Dependency Dependency is a complicated and multifaceted social issue faced by individuals and families from across age groups, cultures, and geographic locations. It is important when trying to understand dependency, to take into account the various risk factors associated with substance us and abuse, as well as genetic, biological, and psychological characteristics that can lead to and perpetuate drug and alcohol reliance. Some environmental risk factors include: addiction in the family, a co-occurring mental illness (such as depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, or psychosis), trauma, death in the family, physical or sexual abuse, difficult transitions, loss of employment, moving, or change in family composition (divorce, remarriage, etc.). In addition to environmental risk factors, some individuals (especially those who have addiction in their family) may have a genetic predisposition to chemical dependence. It is important to recognize this complex relationship between genetics and environment and to address both factors when exploring treatment options. We also know that dependency can change brain chemistry and affect a person s behavior and ability to function normally. Those who struggle with dependency are not weak individuals or people who are too feeble to resist the temptation of use. Rather, dependency is a complicated psychological and biological struggle that can be exacerbated by genetics and environment. Those suffering from personal dependence should never be judged, but can be urged to seek help and treatment. Treatment and treatment options differ according to individual need. When most people hear treatment they automatically think of a detoxification facility. However, that is only one of several forms of treatment and recovery supports available to individuals that struggle with substance abuse. In fact, treatment occurs in a variety of settings, in various forms, and for different lengths of time. Incorporated in this service guide are various options for treatment including: in-patient and out-patient facilities, support groups for addicts (such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous), and support groups for friends and family members of chemically dependent individuals (Such as Al-anon and Ala-teen). When it comes to substance abuse, there are no guarantees for the perfect treatment, and different treatment options may be successful (or not) for different people. Because addiction is a chronic, relapsing disease, treatment should not be looked at as a cure, but as a step in the direction of recovery. CAPA hopes that this directory will assist you and your loved ones as you combat dependency and explore treatment options available in the community.

Families Anonymous: Description Families Anonymous is a fellowship of people whose lives have been affected by the use of mind-altering substances or related behavioral problems of a relative of friend. Any concerned person is encouraged to attend our meetings even if there is only suspicion of a problem. For the individual seeking help, recovery programs are available. However, FAMILIES ANONYMOUS is designed for us the parent, spouse, brother, sister or other emotionally involved relative or friend. In the beginning we seem to be most helped by listening to those who have shared similar experiences and found some answers. Through attending meetings, studying the literature, talking to other members, and working through the steps of this program, suddenly or gradually, our situation begins to look different to us, and our reactions to it begin to change. What is happening is that we are learning to face reality with comfort and out emotional growth is being encouraged. Moreover, these changes in us can develop a family atmosphere conducive to recover. There are no directors or authorities in FAMILIES ANONYMOUS. Leadership is rotated among our members, and no dues or fees are required for membership. First names only are used FA s tradition of anonymity protects the privacy of everyone concerned. Our program is open to all, regardless of our various beliefs or lack of beliefs. Members acceptance of a Power greater than ourselves is strictly a personal, private choice. We are not affiliated with any sect, religion, political entity or institution. Our primary purpose is to practice the principles of FAMILIES ANONYMOUS so that we may help ourselves through helping others with similar problems. We have found that working on ourselves is the most important single thing we can do to help those we care about. There are no rules or musts in our program except perhaps one: KEEP COMING BACK!
