Rockland, Massachusetts AA Meetings

Rockland is an average size town in Plymouth County, in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. Alcoholism can be thought of as an uncontrolled monster, as it breaks up families, causes domestic abuse, accidents, and lowers productivity. In 1935 the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings began, and it is now a global network providing help to individuals through its global directory. Rockland AA meetings are part of that global network, where people with experience assist in recovering alcoholics. These experienced individuals assist by sharing their experiences and giving guidance, which are very useful tools in the recovery process of alcoholics. Studies have shown that a high percentage of alcoholics do not seek support, so even though the AA Massachusetts meetings give strong support for those who seek it, they also reach out to persons who don’t seek support. The global directory, of which Rockland AA meetings are apart, makes it easy for individuals seeking help to get help without having to travel a long distance to get it. The Rockland AA meetings usually administer a 12-step program, which has a high success rate, once it is followed carefully. Other approaches include detoxification, inpatient facilities, and counseling. With the varied approaches, individuals have a greater chance for a full recovery and staying sober, once they stay the course of treatment.
