About AA – Alcoholicos Anonimos – Grupo Acercamiento
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.

Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
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 rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
