AA is Alcoholics Anonymous, where you get counseling for alcohol abuse with use of the 12-step program. NA is Narcotics Anonymous. Same deal, just about other drugs. You can enter a rehab facilitation at any age, but they have a separate unit for those under 18. Depending on the severity of the addiction, you can be put into a halfway house afterward. There, they give you housing, offer you jobs, and teach you how to be a drug-free, independent citizen. If you are religious, you can receive help from your church of choice, whatever method they choose to use. Some are against outside help, believing the power of God can heal anyone. That’s about all I can think of!
