4th result down on google per a generic "narcotics anonymous" search is SR...the link brings up this page http://www.soberrecovery.com/links/n...anonymous.html the first thing you see after the NA name is a roatating ad for various treatment centers. How is this okay? It is the same link that is pulled up when clicking on the "NA meetings" link at the bottom of the page. That implies that the treatment center is a "NArcotics Anonymous Treatment Center" How is this okay?
This is exactly the inferred affiliations that concern me.

How can the ignorant, ( and I use the term respectfully to mean anyone who has no experience) during a time when they are under the stress of getting clean or trying to find help for a loved one, be expected to do the research or take the time to sift through the implications and inferences ?

Do we as more experienced members have a responsibility to work together in concert with those supporters of Narcotics Anonymous, to eliminate implied endorsements, and affiliations as soon as they are recognize, rather than have to to constantly do "clean up"?

Only speaking for myself but it seems easier to learn something new once rather than having to relearn it to correct the poor examples I was given in the first place.
