Al – Anon Information Services

About Al – Anon Information Services – Sacramento, California

Al-Anon Family Groups provides a safe place for adults and teenagers who have been affected by another person’s alcoholism or substance use in Sacramento, California. They offer community-based, peer directed care based on the 12 Step model of recovery.

Al-Anon’s community-based meetings are held weekly and are open to friends and family members of persons experiencing addiction, whether their loved one is actively engaged in an alcohol or drug rehab program. There are multiple chances for community engagement and volunteer opportunities. These meetings are free, anonymous, and conducted both in person and online.

Al-Anon Family Groups include Alateen, a specialized program for youth between the ages of 11 and19. These meetings are free, peer-led, and conducted on a weekly basis. Walk-ins are welcome and participants may attend as frequently or infrequently as they choose. Adult Al-Anon members oversee the Alateen meetings to provide guidance to the members; however, the meetings are solely run by the teenage participants. The purpose of the Alteen meetings is to give teenagers a chance to meet other teenagers dealing with similar situations, including substance abuse in the home.

Al-Anon and Alateen meetings and education programs are free of charge, but donations are accepted. Participants may be referred for paid mental health services, the costs of which may be covered by major insurance providers such as Aetna, Cigna, BlueCross BlueShield, and others. Contact your provider to verify coverage because out of network benefits can vary.
