About this Facility

The Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting location on East Valley Blvd in El Monte, California, hosts community based 12 step programs for adults struggling with drug or alcohol addiction. There are a variety of meeting types, including meetings held in Spanish.

AA is a national program that helps adults overcome addiction, especially to alcohol. The 12 Steps help members establish and maintain sobriety, and there are 12 Traditions that govern how groups are run. Some groups are open to everyone, while others are closed and only available to members committed to eliminating alcohol use. Groups can be focused on newcomers, discussion, speakers, the Big Book, living sober, and more.

AA members are supported through the 12 steps by a sponsor and also benefit from group support, opportunities to participate in service projects, and a variety of recovery education topics. Participants learn life skills such as self care, managing triggers, deepening spiritual focus, and accountability.

Alcoholics Anonymous groups do not charge a fee, although they may accept freewill donations. Members may also be referred to additional treatments or drug rehab services that accept private insurance plans such as Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, and more. Each insurance plan is different, so be sure to contact the insurance company to check your coverage and out of network benefits.

Alcoholism

Alcoholism, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is defined by alcohol dependence. This is a state the body reaches when it experiences withdrawal symptoms in the absence of alcohol. A person who has AUD craves alcohol and continues to drink despite adverse consequences. Because withdrawing from alcohol can pose health risks, individuals with AUD should seek professional alcohol rehab in California to overcome their alcohol addiction. This process typically involves medical detox, rehabilitation, and maintenance.

Drug Addiction

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

Substance Abuse

In California, substance abuse treatment programs can help individuals with any type of substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions. These rehab programs typically encompass various levels of care, including medically assisted detox, intensive outpatient, outpatient, residential rehab, and partial hospitalization. You can expect clinicians to utilize evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and mindfulness to help you achieve and sustain your recovery. The rehab’s clinical team can provide a comprehensive assessment to determine the appropriate level of care and medical support you may need.

12-Step

Participants engaged in 12 step programs receive intensive peer coaching (sponsorship) and community support. Spiritual development as a means of achieving psychological and emotional healing and growth is the cornerstone of 12 step recovery, but religious affiliations are not required. Meetings are free, anonymous, and open to the public, though specialized formats are available, including groups for seniors, teens, and family members. Evening, night, and day meetings are conducted year-round in most communities.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
