| Services: | Narcotics Anonymous is open to all drug addicts, regardless of the particular drug or combination of drugs used. When adapting AA’s First Step, the word “addiction” was substituted for “alcohol,” thus removing drug-specific language and reflecting the “disease concept” of addiction.
There are no social, religious, economic, racial, ethnic, national, gender, or class-status membership restrictions. There are no dues or fees for membership; while most members regularly contribute small sums to help cover the expenses of meetings, such contributions are not mandatory. Narcotics Anonymous provides a recovery process and support network inextricably linked together. One of the keys to NA’s success is the therapeutic value of addicts working with other addicts. Members share their successes and challenges in overcoming active addiction and living drug-free productive lives through the application of the principles contained within the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of NA. These principles are the core of the Narcotics Anonymous recovery program. Principles incorporated within the steps include: admitting there is a problem; seeking help; engaging in a thorough self-examination; confidential self-disclosure; making amends for harm done; and helping other drug addicts who want to recover. Central to the Narcotics Anonymous program is its emphasis on practicing spiritual principles. Narcotics Anonymous itself is non-religious, and each member is encouraged to cultivate an individual understanding—religious or not—of this “spiritual awakening.” Narcotics Anonymous is not affiliated with other organizations, including other twelve step programs, treatment centers, or correctional facilities. As an organization, NA does not employ professional counselors or therapists nor does it provide residential facilities or clinics. Additionally, the fellowship does not provide vocational, legal, financial, psychiatric, or medical services. NA has only one mission: to provide an environment in which addicts can help one another stop using drugs and find a new way to live. In Narcotics Anonymous, members are encouraged to comply with complete abstinence from all drugs including alcohol. It has been the experience of NA members that complete and continuous abstinence provides the best foundation for recovery and personal growth. NA as a whole has no opinion on outside issues, including prescribed medications. Use of psychiatric medication and other medically indicated drugs prescribed by a physician and taken under medical supervision is not seen as compromising a person’s recovery in NA. Call the helpline today for support. |

| Clients: | Strong Area Health Center (SAHC) has been part of the Franklin County community since 1986. Many of the staff live locally and have deep family roots in the area. Avon, New Vineyard, Phillips and Strong are the official towns served by the health center, but patients from Farmington and other towns utilize the health center services as well. The Health Center staff and community members worked together to plan a more modern building and in July 2001, that dream was realized when the Health Center moved into a new, spacious home.
In January 2003, another expansion was completed: a state-of-the-art Dental Center. Strong was selected as the first HealthReach facility to offer dental care. Recent studies have demonstrated a greater link between oral health and overall health than was previously realized. A coalition of local residents and service providers worked with HealthReach for several years to plan the program and seek funding for this important endeavor. SAHC is one of the eleven practices of HealthReach Community Health Centers, which provide medical care in central and western Maine to 36,000 patients each year. |

| Services: | The Partnership For A Tobacco-Free Maine (PTM) is the primary program responsible for tobacco prevention and control throughout the state of Maine. The PTM was originally developed as a result of the tobacco excise tax legislation passed in 1997. In November 1998, Maine, along with 45 other states across the country, sued the tobacco industry for the recovery of the states Medicaid health care costs attributed to tobacco use. As a result of the Master Settlement Agreement the industry committed to paying the states approximately $206 billion over the next 25 years. Of that total, it is estimated that Maine will receive approximately $50 million per year. Through the Fund for a Healthy Maine, the 119th Maine State Legislature dedicated all of the state tobacco settlement funds to health programs. A significant portion of those funds has been allocated specifically to the PTM to develop and implement statewide tobacco prevention, control, and treatment programs. The PTM, a comprehensive program, also receives funding from a cooperative agreement with the CDC and is designed to reflect the CDCs Best Practice Guidelines for Statewide Tobacco Prevention and Control Programs. The mission of the PTM is to reduce death and disability due to tobacco use among Maine citizens by creating an environment that is supportive of a tobacco-free life. The statewide program, which focuses its efforts primarily on population-based strategies to effect policy and environmental change, has four primary goals: Prevent youth and young adults from starting to use tobacco; Motivate and assist tobacco users to quit; Protect the public from exposure to secondhand smoke; and Identify and eliminate disparities related to tobacco use among population groups. The PTM supports a variety of programs and activities that help to achieve the above goals. These include: Statewide media: counter-marketing and public awareness campaigns. A statewide coordinated system of tobacco treatment services including the toll-free Maine Tobacco HelpLine, tobacco treatment medication program, and training in tobacco treatment for health care providers and other health care professionals. Funding to 31 local Healthy Maine Partnerships across the state working to reduce tobacco use and tobacco-related chronic diseases. Enforcement activities related to preventing youth access to tobacco as well as laws regulating smoking in public places and work places. No BUTS!: An outreach and training program on responsible retailing to assist retailers in complying with youth access laws. MY TURN: A statewide youth advocacy board. Local youth advocacy programs. A statewide Tobacco-Free Athletes program. |
