Dual Recovery Anonymous is a 12 Step self-help program
that is based on the principals of the Twelve Steps and
the experiences of men and women in recovery with a dual
diagnosis. The DRA program helps us recover from both our
chemical dependency and our emotional or psychiatric illness
by focusing on relapse prevention and actively improving
the quality of our lives. In a community of mutual support,
we learn to avoid the risks that lead back to alcohol and
drug use as well as reducing the symptoms of our emotional
or psychiatric illness.
