About AA – Alcoholics Anonymous
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) -- San Bernardino is a public community substance abuse support group in San Bernardino, California. They provide outpatient support services to adults living with drug and alcohol addiction. They have specialized groups based on age, gender, and cultural backgrounds.
AA groups are community-based support groups that provide support and education to members through peer support groups. Clients participate in the group by offering advice and support to their peers while also working with a designated sponsor for individual support and mentorship. These groups do not provide medical services but may refer clients to treatment programs for additional support.
12-step groups are a structured method of helping clients find sobriety by progressing through 12 stages of personal development. These steps teach clients vital life and coping skills and how self-compassion, forgiveness, relapse prevention, personal accountability, and spirituality can support ongoing recovery.
AA groups do not require payment to participate. However, clients seeking help from a professional treatment program (which often accepts payment from private insurance plans, like Humana, Aetna, Ambetter, ComPsych, Anthem, and others) should confirm coverage before enrolling, as out-of-network benefits may vary.

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.
