Alcoholics Anonymous Alcoholic Anonymous also known as AA was amazingly started by two alcoholics. They both were totally addicted to drugs and were unable to live a normal life. The two of them were Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith. When they started the self rehabilitation program, they were very inspired by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung and the teaching of one Oxford Group, a Christian Evangelical organization. Bill Wilson was started his treatment first and he got the positive result. After being treated for some time, he felt better and better and started entering into normal life, and after having the excellent experience of rehabilitation, he started spreading his experience to other drug addicts and in the mean time, Dr. Bob Smith came into his touch. Both of them thought to start a self-help group in 1935. At the end of the 1937, the group had 40 members.

Their self help program Feminine Wipes had got such an enormous success that many other people and organization had started these types of drug and alcohol rehab program. Some the successful drug and alcohol rehab organization were Narcotics Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous. Narcanon’s RootsWilliam C. Benitez was the founder of Narcanon Roots. Once he was the prisoner at Arizona State Prison.

He had started this program by being inspired by “The Fundamentals of Thought” a teaching delivered to the prisoners by Ron Hubbard on February 19, 1966. Later he got the support from many other people and organizations. Particularly by the founder of Scientology but with each passing day, the Drug and Alcohol rehab program of Narcanon Roots kept going higher and higher and much other conspiracy put down the lid. No doubt, a number of drug and alcohol rehab program was there before these two but they did not get as much success as these two. So basically the history of Drug and Alcohol and Rehab program has its origin in these two programs.
