Al-Anon helps friends and family members of alcoholics deal with the challenges of living with someone who has a drinking problem. Similarly, Alateen is a recovery program designed for young people. Always, Alateen groups are sponsored by Al-Anon members.
Al-Anon's recovery program is adapted from the program used by Alcoholics Anonymous and is centered around the Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions, and Twelve Concepts of Service. Anyone who is dealing with the problem of alcoholism in a relative or friend can become a member.
Al-Anon/Alateen is not affiliated with any other organization or outside organization.
