About Al Anon
Al Anon addresses the typical problems loved ones face, like enabling rather than helping, problems differentiating between support and pity, and focusing on their goals instead of the other person’s issues. It is helpful for friends and family of those experiencing addiction, even if they don’t go to alcohol or drug rehab.
There are various types of Al Anon, including non-English languages, gender-specific meetings, online meetings, and others. The group emphasizes an adapted 12 step format and encourages members to focus on accountability and deepen their spiritual lives.
Al Anon doesn’t require payment, but offerings may be accepted. They also may refer members to another program for services such as counseling that work with private health insurance providers like Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Humana, and more. Contact your direct provider to verify coverage, as out of network benefits may vary by healthcare company.

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.

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.
