What is 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.
