About AA – Alcoholics Anonymous – Salinas
Alcoholics Anonymous on Gabilan Street is a 12 Step support program. You’ll find ’em located out in Salinas, California. They provide community peer support for clients living with drug and alcohol addiction, with specialized groups based on age, gender, cultural background, and other factors.
AA groups operate within their communities by providing peer-led substance abuse support and education services to their members. In addition to group support, clients work with an individual sponsor, usually a senior group member, who acts as direct support. It should be noted that these are not medical services, but clients may refer one another to such programs.
The 12 Step model is designed to help clients navigate the concepts and changes that will help them recover from addiction and develop the skills they need to avoid relapse. With the help of their peers, clients navigate, explore, and learn how personal accountability, self-compassion, relapse prevention, forgiveness, life and coping skills, and spirituality can lead to and maintain a life in recovery.
AA groups do not require payment to participate. However, clients may also be interested in joining a private recovery program, which often works with private insurance plans, such as Magellan, Bright Health, Wellmark, Ambetter, and Aetna. Clients should always confirm coverage before enrolling, as out-of-network benefits may vary.
