There are many strategies and tips that can help someone who is trying to quit using drugs. One of the most important factors in successful rehabilitation is admitting to having a problem, deciding to seek treatment, and having the motivation and discipline to stay in treatment. A critical element for a successful recovery is building a network of support which includes family, friends, community service providers, sponsors, doctors and peers. Support groups such as Narcotics Anonymous play an important role because these groups are structured around group discussion with people working through similar problems.  The benefit of these programs is they provide peer-to-peer mutual support without need for expensive treatments or medicines offering long term solutions with better chance at lasting success.

Support groups allow former users to connect with like-minded people who understand their experiences, helping them remain on track in recovery while offering emotional support during difficult moments. Group discussions can provide insights on how to handle different circumstances without resorting to drugs.
