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.

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?

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
