Drug and Alcohol Addiction Education Resources - Little Creek Lodge

Little Creek is built on a 12 Step philosophy in conjunction with reality-based therapies. The program is designed to engage a resident's ongoing barriers whether spiritual, mental or social. Our primary objective is to guide residents into managing daily recovery, and overcome denial, controled use and the fear of success. Learning how to ask for help can be difficult, but necessary to develop emotional coping skills strong enough to meet the daily challenges of life without drugs or alcohol.

Through guidance, individual and group therapy, wilderness expeditions and daily 12-step meetings, our residents engage in a mental, physical and spiritual experience which is essential to long term recovery.

Educational Additions: Residents may enroll in a local university such as Marywood College, Scranton University or sign up for private instruction in golf, fishing, physical training, etc..

Alcoholics AnonymousAlcoholics Anonymous® is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety

Narcotics Anonymous Narcotics Anonymous is an international, community-based association of recovering drug addicts with more than 43,900 weekly meetings in over 127 countries worldwide. Narcotics Anonymous sprang from the Alcoholics Anonymous Program of the late 1940s, with meetings first emerging in the Los Angeles area of California, USA, in the early Fifties. The NA program started as a small US movement that has grown into one of the world's oldest and largest organizations of its type.

Al-AnonFor over 50 years, Al-Anon (which includes Alateen for younger members) has been offering hope and help to families and friends of alcoholics. It is estimated that each alcoholic affects the lives of at least four other people... alcoholism is truly a family disease. No matter what relationship you have with an alcoholic, whether they are still drinking or not, all who have been affected by someone else’s drinking can find solutions that lead to serenity in the Al-Anon/Alateen fellowship.
