Alcohol and Drugs - Information and
Rehabilitation NSW
Alcoholics Anonymous
is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength
and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and
help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for
membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for
A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions.
A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization
or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither
endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober
and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
Narcotics Anonymous
Anyone who wants to stop using drugs may become a member of
Narcotics Anonymous. Membership is not limited to addicts using any
particular drug. Those who feel they may have a problem with drugs,
legal or illegal, including alcohol, are welcome in NA. Recovery in NA
focuses on the problem of addiction, not on any particular drug. See the
site for more information and details of local meetings.
Odyssey House - A

Foundation - PALM (Program for Adolescent Life Management) is a

We Help Ourselves aims to foster
personal growth within a drug free therapeutic program. This is
complemented by incorporating the concepts of Harm Minimisation for
