Abstract:
|
For many clients addicted to alcohol and/or drugs, it can be difficult to obtain and maintain abstinence. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between attending AA/NA meetings and abstinence from alcohol/drugs. This quantitative survey research study investigated the abstinence from drugs/alcohol of 44 men and women that were attending AA/NA meetings. The sampling method was a non-probability convenience sample. Those that stated they had been attending AA/NA meetings for four months or more reported to be abstinent from alcohol or drugs for more than 90 days. Chi square tests were not significant in the relationship between attending AA/NA meetings and abstinence from alcohol/drugs. Implications for social work practice and policy are discussed. |
