About AA – Alcoholics Anonymous

Alcoholics Anonymous on Gabilan Street is a 12 Step support program. You'll find 'em located out in Salinas, California. They provide community peer support for clients living with drug and alcohol addiction, with specialized groups based on age, gender, cultural background, and other factors.

AA groups operate within their communities by providing peer-led substance abuse support and education services to their members. In addition to group support, clients work with an individual sponsor, usually a senior group member, who acts as direct support. It should be noted that these are not medical services, but clients may refer one another to such programs.

The 12 Step model is designed to help clients navigate the concepts and changes that will help them recover from addiction and develop the skills they need to avoid relapse. With the help of their peers, clients navigate, explore, and learn how personal accountability, self-compassion, relapse prevention, forgiveness, life and coping skills, and spirituality can lead to and maintain a life in recovery.

AA groups do not require payment to participate. However, clients may also be interested in joining a private recovery program, which often works with private insurance plans, such as Magellan, Bright Health, Wellmark, Ambetter, and Aetna. Clients should always confirm coverage before enrolling, as out-of-network benefits may vary.

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

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.

Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use.
