About AA – Alcoholics Anonymous
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) -- Exeter is a public support group for clients living with alcoholism located in Exeter, California, west of Dobson Field. AA groups are peer-led and rely on clients sharing their experiences as a form of support. They serve adult clients.
A combines the warm, welcoming environment of a support group with the 12-step recovery program. It should be noted that AA groups are not medical programs and are not overseen by medical professionals. Services offered include:
AA was the first group to use the 12-step program, which is now used in various groups worldwide. The steps define a process through which clients can find recovery from alcoholism at their own pace by progressing through stages of accountability. There is typically no fee to participate in these groups, though some groups may pay dues if they rent a meeting space.
The 12 steps start with clients admitting they are powerless over their addiction and putting their faith in a self-defined higher power (which can be the group itself). Once clients learn to ask for help, they learn to accept responsibility for their actions and make amends with those most hurt by their actions. Upon completing the 12 steps, clients stay on to mentor newcomers and continue providing support to other clients.
Insurance is required to participate in AA. However, clients considering rehabilitation programs should always confirm their insurance coverage first, as in-network and out-of-network benefits can vary.

12-Step 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.
