About this Facility

Al-Anon, located in San Diego, California, provides 12-step programs to men and women seeking recovery from codependency. It is important to note that this is not an alcohol and drug rehab program, but instead helps those who have been struggling due to their relationship with an addict in their lives.

The Al-Anon program functions on an outpatient basis. Individuals will attend meetings, obtain a sponsor, learn about the spiritual principles and traditions outlined in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, contribute to meeting discussions, work the steps, and in time, sponsor newcomers seeking support at the initial stages of their journey. Most Al-Anon meetings are organized by topic or age, such as teen meetings, women’s meetings, or adult children of alcoholics meetings. This allows individuals to be in the company of others who are dealing with similar areas of challenge.

Al-Anon does not take insurance because they are a free program led by peers. If a person wants to use their insurance for any type of treatment, they are encouraged to contact their provider to learn more about their coverage because out-of-network benefits may vary.

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.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

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.
