Name 2 ways that NA is different from AA
( open )
AA was designed solely to help those with a desire to stop drinking alcohol. NA was founded to support anyone with a substance abuse problem, including illegal or prescription drugs or alcohol, in their desire to live a sober life.
The NA approach mirrors the AA 12-step model in most ways, with a few exceptions. One major difference is in the wording of the first step. In AA, the first step states, “We admitted we were powerless over alcohol,” while the NA first step states, “We admitted we were powerless over our addiction.”
While the 12 steps of both NA and AA discuss God or a “higher power,” NA strongly encourages members to individually determine what that means to them. NA promotes a strong focus on such spiritual principles as “honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness.”
What group of medications can also treat alcoholism?
a. benzodiazepines
b. barbiturates
c. any stimulants.
a. Benzodiazepines
( During detoxification benzodiazepines are systematically decreased to address the most important need, which is to prevent the occurrence of seizures and delirium. Alcohol-related seizures and or delirium tremens can result in death. Benzodiazepines can also improve treatment outcome but should only be used on a short-term basis. )
