Nar-Anon
Twelve-step program / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nar-Anon, known officially as "Nar-Anon Family Groups", is a twelve-step program for friends and family members of those who are affected by someone else's addiction. Nar-Anon is complementary to, but separate from, Narcotics Anonymous (NA), analogous to Al-Anon with respect to Alcoholics Anonymous; Nar-Anon's traditions state that it should "always cooperate with Narcotics Anonymous."

Nar-Anon was co-founded by Alma B. and Louise S. in Studio City, California, but their attempt to launch the program failed.[1] The organization was revived in 1968 in the Palos Verdes Peninsula by Louise S. and others.[2] Nar-Anon filed Articles of Incorporation in 1971, and in 1986 established the Nar-Anon World Service Office (WSO) in San Pedro, California.[1]
