Support Organizations & National Resources
Independent organizations, hotlines, and directories that may help you or someone you love who is affected by addiction.
SponsorConnect is not a crisis service or treatment provider. We’re a tool to help people in 12-step recovery find sponsors and resources. The organizations listed on this page are independent nonprofits, helplines, and information services that support individuals and families dealing with alcohol use, drug use, gambling, and other related issues. Some offer meetings or peer support; others provide education, referrals, or crisis help.
If you’re in immediate danger or feel unable to stay safe, please contact your local emergency number or a crisis line right away. In the United States, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Below are some nationally recognized organizations and directories you may find helpful. SponsorConnect is not affiliated with these groups; links are provided for information only.
