Explain what distinguishes the alcohol education program Al-Anon from other programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous and the American Red Cross addiction programs.

Answer:

Al-Anon is different because it is designed mainly to support the family members and friends of people with alcohol problems, rather than the person who is drinking. Programs like Alcoholics Anonymous focus on helping the person with alcoholism recover, while Al-Anon helps loved ones cope, learn, and find support.
