Alano Clubs - a place for recovering people to meet and socialize in a clean and sober environment before and after 12 step meetings.

Co-Dependents Anonymous - a fellowship of men and women whose common purpose is to develop healthy relationships. The only requirement for membership is a desire for healthy and fulfilling relationships. Many participants are raised in families where addictions existed - some are not.
Intergroup - centralized offices (typically AA) that operate independently of the worldwide service structure. Intergroups are established to carry out certain functions (i.e. maintaining lists of meetings) that are best handled by a centralized office within a geographic region. Intergroups are maintained, supervised, and supported by Intergroup members. There are more than 600 Intergroup offices functioning through the world performing AA services.
LifeRing - LifeRIng is a secular, abstinence-based mutual support group that broke away from another secular mutual support group, SOS, in 1999.
Nar-Anon - a twelve-step program of recovery for friends and family members of individuals who misuse or are addicted to drugs.
SMART RecoveryŽ - is a secular mutual support group. SMART RecoveryŽ views addictive behavior as a maladaptive habit, rather than as a disease.
