About Independence Club – Springfield
Located in Springfield, Virginia, the Independence Club is a drug and alcohol treatment program for adults with substance use disorders. They also provide valuable community resources, such as referrals, outreach, a support line, and volunteer opportunities.
Alcoholics Anonymous is a program of recovery that helps adults overcome alcohol use disorder and substance use disorders. Their 12-step program involves regular recovery meetings during which members share their experiences, seek support for challenges, and help those struggling. The program involves working with a sponsor, who is another person in recovery who has already been through the steps. Members also volunteer their time to run meetings. Anyone can attend, the only requirement is a desire to stop drinking. Meetings are available throughout the day, seven days a week.
There are other 12-step programs, like Narcotics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, Heroin Anonymous, and Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous. All programs work on the same basis: regular meeting attendance, the 12-step program, sponsorship, and service. Each is tailored to the specific substance or process addiction a person is dealing with.
