Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA)
DRA is an independent, non-profit, non-professional self-help
organization.
DRA was established to help men and women who experience
a dual disorder. A dual disorder occurs when an individual is affected
by both chemical dependency and an emotional or psychiatric illness.
The primary purpose of DRA is to help one another achieve
dual recovery, to prevent relapse, and to carry the message of recovery
to others who experience a dual disorder.
The DRA program is based on the principals of the Twelve
Steps and the personal experiences of men and women in dual recovery.
Meeting Time: Fridays, 3:00-4:30 p.m Location: Ravenwood Mental
Health Center, South Street Office, 695 South Street Chardon, Ohio
