About The Serenity AFG

AlAnon Family Serenity Group is a community-based substance abuse support program for those who have friends and family members living with drug and alcohol addiction. They provide clients with peer support and 12 Step style group services. You'll find 'em in Midland, Texas.

Peer support programs like Al Anon are designed by clients for clients. Al Anon helps loved ones of those experiencing substance use disorder address common problems they face, such as how to help without enabling and how to pursue their own goals in spite of a loved one’s substance use. This can be helpful for friends and family members whether the person using substances attends alcohol and drug rehab or not.

Their groups use the 12 Step model made famous by alcoholics anonymous. AlAnon applies these concepts, developed initially to support alcoholics in recovery, to give aid and strength to those who support alcoholics. The 12 Steps include admitting powerlessness over addiction, putting one’s faith in a higher power, asking for help, admitting mistakes, making amends, and mentoring others in the group.

AlAnon groups don’t require membership fees and don’t accept insurance. However, many substance abuse treatment plans work with private insurance plans like Cigna, HCSC, Beacon, TRICARE, and Aetna. Out of network benefits may vary, so clients should confirm coverage if they are considering such a program.

Treatment

Alcoholism

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 Addiction

During rehab in Texas, you'll deal with underlying issues that contribute to addiction. By addressing these challenges and learning healthy ways to cope with them, you'll develop strategies that help you live a drug-free lifestyle.

Substance Abuse

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.

Clinical Services

Family 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

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.
