Atheists & Believers: What are some good organizations you know of that fight against hard drug addiction?

Question by Andy F: Atheists & Believers: What are some good organizations you know of that fight against hard drug addiction?
Here in Washington DC, there’s a group called “Second Genesis” that I’ve given money to that is supposed to be pretty successful in getting crack and heroin users off drugs, using a “tough love” method.
I think the founders / organizers are probably Jewish, judging from their literature, but I’m not sure of this.
Are there either religiously oriented or purely secular groups that you know about & recommend supporting, that are helping people to escape from substance abuse & addiction?

A charity local to me is called Broadreach House, they supply clean needles and heroine substitute to people on the streets and house people who are coming off drugs and help them get jobs and their lives back. They are funded mainly by the local health authority, but also by public donations. So are secular, if a little new age in their philosophy

Question by martha: Are there any organizations that aims to keep children away from possible alcoholism?
My ex-husband is an alcoholic and I’m scared that my son would turn into one also. So, I’m looking for organizations or societies that might us be informed about alcoholism. I don’t want my son to be like his father. I want him to realize the consequences of abusing alcohol so that he would try to stay away from it. Please help me. I want to save my son.

Yes, Alateen. It will also help him deal with his issues regarding his father, and also give him someone to talk to in case he starts to feel that you are hyper-vigilant or over-dramatic.

But, and this is important – he has to want to be there.
