About Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) – Por fin Llegue
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) -- Por fin Llegue is a nonprofit substance abuse support program in Fontana, California, south of Santa Fe Park. AA groups are peer-led support programs for clients struggling with alcohol addiction. They serve adult clients.
AA groups follow the 12-step model of recovery. It should be noted that such groups do not offer clinical treatment and are not overseen by medical professionals. Services they offer include:
The 12-step model originated with AA and has since been adopted by other recovery groups around the world. The program is designed to guide clients through recovery by helping them recognize the harm their addiction has caused and giving them the strength to hold themselves accountable. Though sometimes presented as a faith-based program, AA groups are nondenominational.
Clients start by admitting they have alcohol use disorder and that they are powerless over their addiction and putting their faith in a self-designated higher power (which can be the group itself). From there, clients explore how their addiction has harmed themselves and others while taking responsibility for their actions and making amends with those they’ve hurt. Once they’ve completed the 12 steps, clients are encouraged to remain in the group to continue offering others support and to act as a mentor.
AA groups do not require insurance. However, clients who are considering other programs should confirm their coverage before enrolling, as in-network and 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.
Programs
Clinical Services
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.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
