If you have a selection set called DRAIN, you can create a new
selection using Select-By-Location as follows:

  Select Based on selection set DRAIN
  Choose Features touching or contained
  Place the result in a new set called DRAINPLUS

Then the set DRAINPLUS will contain all the DRAIN features and
their neighbors.

Now you can go to Select - Combine Selection and choose

  Create Set: NEIGHBORS
  By: Choosing Features in one of
  Set: DRAIN
  and: DRAINPLUS

Since DRAIN is purely a subset of DRAINPLUS, the only features that
are only in one of them are the proper neighbors of DRAIN.  So the
resulting set NEIGHBORS has your result.
