Nar A Non, look in the phone book for Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous. I know for members of AA they have Al-A-Non for family members. It is free all you have to do is go to meetings. They have schedules of meetings in your area. You can also call the local mental health hotline and ask them or the hospital in your area.
