About Alano Club of San Jose
The Alano Club of San Jose is a Recovery Meeting destination spot based in San Jose, California, just off the 101 Freeway and McLaughlin, on Fair Ave. Its purpose since 1948 has been to provide a base of operations for sober living activities and sober individuals, and to support sobriety through fellowship and community. They provide a safe, supportive space where 12 Step Recovery can occur. It’s also a venue for events supporting recovery related activities. In addition, the club is a conduit for court ordered offenders to perform community service.
With its principles firmly rooted in AA, meetings at the club are conveniently available in person or remotely via Zoom. They also have hybrid options for those able to attend in person on occasion but who also want to take advantage of online attendance. In addition to AA meetings, the following meeting types are available: NA – Narcotics Anonymous, OA – Overeaters Anonymous, CoDa – Co-dependents Anonymous, Al-Anon – Al-Anon Family Groups, LifeRing – a Secular Recovery group, and SMART – SMART 4-Point Recovery.
There is a diner onsite, catering to club members and visitors. Serving food and fellowship, they’re open from the mornings to evenings. There is also a gift shop, which offers sobriety focused gifts for in person purchase, 12 Steps literature and other sobriety reading is available in both English and Spanish, as well as LGBTQI+ community focused materials, AA Chips, Medallions, and other gifts. A monthly newsletter keeps you up to speed with club news.
I find the efficacy of The Alano Club to be clear through its stated missions to help others in need. The support the club offers through the bond of fellowship is what it takes to build and maintain sobriety. To paraphrase an old African proverb about community formation can take a village, the Alano Club clearly seems to provide a welcoming village.

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.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
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.
