About this Facility

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) provides peer-directed group counseling services in a community-based environment. Meetings are free and anonymous and can include different therapeutic programs and events, including guest speakers and discussions, AA Big Book studies, and meditation classes. In addition to group sessions, clients also receive one-on-one peer coaching from a self-selected sponsor. Clients may participate in AA while enrolled in an alcohol or drug rehab program or in lieu of formal clinical care.

The program follows the 12 step model of recovery, which emphasizes healing the whole person, including their mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional self. Clients engage with their peers to share progress and discuss the challenges they are experiencing. Along the way, they receive support and cultivate accountability, as well as the opportunity to hone valuable recovery-focused life skills, including communication and critical problem-solving.

Clients can access AA’s services at no cost. However, participants may receive peer referrals to other types of addiction recovery services, including medical or mental health treatments. These may be covered by major insurance providers, such as Cigna, Humana, BlueCross BlueShield, Magellan Health, and others.

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.
