About Alano Club – San Francisco
Alano Club offers community-based addiction support for individuals in San Francisco, California. Services include outpatient treatment, peer support services, community support, volunteer opportunities, social events, and referrals.
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous is a recovery program that supports individuals to overcome substance use disorders. Their core service is a 12-step program, which involves attending regular recovery meetings, working with a sponsor, and being of service, such as taking a volunteer position or helping a newcomer. Anyone can attend, the only requirement is a desire to stop using. Meetings are available throughout the day, seven days a week. Members also volunteer their time to run meetings.
Peer support programs are provided by individuals with lived experience of addiction and recovery. Each peer is state-certified to support individuals seeking recovery, by providing recovery planning help, support navigating services, and recovery support.
Alano Club is a free service and supports itself through member contributions and those who volunteer. There is no requirement to donate – it is entirely voluntary. Attending the Alano Club will not impact your out-of-network benefits.
