These groups will be helpful if you’ve completed treatment or are going through rehab via an outpatient programme. Support groups are free to attend, and meeting locations are available and open to addicts all across Cumbria.

What Is NA?

What Is AA?

AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) is similar to NA but is dedicated to individuals that are recovering from drinking problems. You can also find AA meetings in Cumbria, and they’re free to attend as well.
