If you are not sure where to start
Are these guides medically reviewed?
No. They are written in plain language, and each guide cites the sources it uses. A guide is not a doctor, and a meeting is not a clinic. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. If you are in a mental health crisis, call or text 988.
I just need a meeting tonight. Where do I start?
Start with the meetings page. You can sit and listen. You do not have to speak. If what you need is a treatment program instead of a meeting, call (800) 653-9376. Calling is free, and we check your benefits before you commit.
What if I am scared of withdrawal?
If you have been drinking heavily, stopping all at once can be dangerous. A meeting can sit with you. It cannot replace a doctor. Call 911 if someone is seizing, cannot breathe, or will not wake. Read detox and withdrawal, or call us if you need help finding a program.
