About this Facility

The Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) Central Office in San Diego, California, coordinates AA meetings in the city. These meetings are community-based, 12-step focused programs for adults struggling with addiction, particularly alcohol misuse. Some meetings are open to the public and those that are closed, or only available to AA members, and meetings may be available in a variety of languages.

AA has a long history of helping those struggling with alcohol misuse, and they have meetings all over the country. The 12 Steps of AA help participants achieve and maintain sobriety, which is especially helpful after alcohol or drug rehab. 12 Traditions govern the organization. There are a variety of AA meeting types, including discussion, speaker, women-only, Big Book, Traditions, living sober, and more.

AA members commit to not using alcohol at all, permanently. They are supported by a sponsor and the groups they participate in. Members receive recovery-focused skills training, including coping skills, communication, self-care, deepening spiritual life, and more. They also have the opportunity to take part in community service projects.

Alcoholics Anonymous doesn’t charge a fee, although groups may accept freewill donations. Participants may be referred to additional services that accept private insurance plans, like Cigna, Beacon, United Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Amerigroup, Magellan Health, and more. Be sure to contact the insurer to get information about out-of-network benefits and other coverage details because every plan is different.

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.
