Notes:

 

 

The notation Patients in the right-hand column means that individuals must be adults (18 years of age or older), have a diagnosis of depression or bi-polar disorder, and be under the outpatient care of a physician. It does NOT mean that they have ever been an in-patient at any of the facilities where these meetings are held.

The /Map notation is an external link to the Google Map for the address indicated.

While there are over 1500 peer support meetings per week conducted by various 12-step organizations; there are only 3 that specifically deal with "Dual Diagnosis" issues (mental health AND addiction) and the mental health treatment community is generally unaware of the fact that they exist, this is why we have added these meetings to our meeting listing.

The notation (Open Meeting) in the right-hand column following the various 12-step fellowship names means that anyone may attend even if they do not identify themselves as a member (or a person who meets the criteria for membership in the organization); however only members or those meeting the criteria for membership may share in these meetings. In DBSA terms if you are a *Patient then you can talk, if you are a family member willing to allow that you may have some co-dependency going on (then guess what; since co-dependency is addiction in disquise - you could fit critera as well)
