The group is open ended and meets one night a week for an hour. Any inmate attending the Narcotics Anonymous program for ten consecutive weeks will receive a letter of accomplishment from the assigned case manager sponsor. Inmates who continuously attend the group for one year will receive a one year pin. Alcoholics Anonymous Alcoholics Anonymous is a voluntary support group, which meets together to attain and maintain sobriety. The group uses the AA 12 Step principles to maintain a program of total abstinence.
Members simply stay away from one drink, one day at a time.
Sobriety is maintained through sharing experiences, strength, and hope at group meetings and through the suggested 12 steps for recovery from alcoholism. Inmates are encouraged to participate and share their experience with alcohol and what step they are currently working. What is said in the meeting is strictly confidential except for breaches of security. The group is fully self supported and does not seek nor accept contributions from a nonmember. The group is led by an inmate chairman who opens and closes the meeting with a serenity prayer.
