About this Facility

AA - Alcoholics Anonymous, with meeting locations in Newark, California, offers community-based 12 Step support to adults struggling with addiction. Some meetings are open to the public, and others are closed and only for AA members. Meetings in Newark are available in both Spanish and English.

AA is a long-running and well-known program with meetings around the country. It can be a good option for those who have recently finished alcohol or drug rehab. The 12 Steps help members build and maintain sobriety. There are also 12 Traditions that govern AA. Multiple types of meetings are available in Newark, including Tradition study, sober living, newcomer, discussion, and Big Book.

AA members commit to permanently abstaining from alcohol and are supported by a sponsor and the group. Participants learn a variety of life skills, such as self-care, coping mechanisms, accountability, communication skills, and deepening their spiritual lives. AA members also participate in community service projects.

AA – Alcoholics Anonymous doesn’t charge a fee, although they may take freewill offerings. Participants may be referred to additional services that accept private insurance plans such as Humana, Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Beacon, and Magellan Health. Because insurance plans vary, be sure to verify coverage information and out-of-network benefits with your insurance company.

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.
