Description

An Alcoholics Anonymous group in Syracuse had over decades lured thousands of fragile addicts into its radical group.
The Syracuse Group used high-pressure tactics to force unsuspecting addicts to drop their prescriptions, which separated addicts with mental health problems from the medicine needed for them to function. The group tried amateurish and dangerous approaches to detox in its headquarters. The group exerted cult-like control over its followers, isolating addicts from their families which made recovery less likely. It broke from many guidelines and norms of AA and from New York law.
