What’s in the “secret sauce”? Adults in long-term recovery describe how Narcotics Anonymous supports lasting change
Alcoholics Anonymous has been studied extensively, and researchers have identified several mechanisms that may explain why it helps people achieve and sustain abstinence. Narcotics Anonymous (NA), though widely used, has received far less research attention, leaving its underlying mechanisms poorly understood. To help close this gap, this study interviewed long-term NA members about aspects of the program they believed were most influential in supporting their recovery.
