AA Alcoholics Anonymous Fall River Group is a peer based recovery support resource in Estes Park, Colorado offering 12 step meetings for members working to overcome alcoholism and drug addiction.
Rather than a clinical rehab program the Fall River Group focuses on mutual aid and shared experience as the foundation for long term recovery.
The Fall River Group follows the traditional 12 step model which is widely used as a complement to formal substance use treatment or as a standalone path to sobriety. Participants typically begin by simply attending a meeting with no formal intake or assessment required.
Meetings provide a setting where members can share their stories, work through the 12 steps, and connect with peers who understand the challenges of recovery.
The group welcomes people at any stage whether newly sober, in long term recovery, or transitioning from inpatient or outpatient treatment.
Our Methodology
Free12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
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.
Professional services are often necessary to recover from addiction. Drug rehab in Colorado provides the expert services needed to address the complex issues of addiction and help individuals start their recovery journey.
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Dirty and smelly and ramshackle meeting place. There is a green sign on the front door saying: "No Animals." I have never seen such a thing. What if a person has a service animal? Most Attendees arrived in a large van, and many had eyes and faces of current intoxication.
Went to a great meeting there. It was a day when I really needed to talk to someone. Will try to come here again.
I was told that they would not let me or my service dog attend the meeting. I have had (Amelia) profinally trained for my disabilities. She is house broken, as well as she is a calm Dog. She does not get out of line nor does she leave my side, even off leash. I had her on a ...

AA - Alcoholics Narcotics Anonymous - Fall River Group specializes in the treatment of alcoholism. 701 Elm Road Estes Park , CO 80517 I was told that they would not let me or my service dog attend the meeting. I have had (Amelia) profinally trained for my disabilities. She is house broken, as well as she is a calm Dog. She does not get out of line nor does she leave my side, even off leash. I had her on a leash with her vest on, which I do not need, however I do not let people approach her when she is working and the vest is a clear indication of her status. I feel I was clearly discriminated against as well as my service animal. This morning she accompanied me to a minor court hearing. The police officers only comment was, what a good dog. The District Attorney was very polite and loved Amilia. As well as the Judge who made a very nice message. "Chris you are leaps and bounds in your recovery, you have created a positive environment attended 120 days of rehab and paying money to have an animal become a service dog shows our growth, I am very proud of you, you have worked extremely hard to turn your life around, I am proud to drop the charges". Fall river AA/NA is only 1 of 2 groups in Estes Park, where I reside at the moment, St Barts AA meeting was happy to allow Amilia to accompany me in the meeting last week. The meetings are a crucial part of my recovery. Not only did the Fall river group break the LAW, they also denied me my recovery process. This meeting is an open meeting for the public as well as a public place. I truly feel My Dog Amilia and I were discriminated against. The conversation with the gentlemen named Justice, who was running the meeting, went like this. Justis said,"we do not allow any Animals in the building, no matter what" Me," Justis I She is my Service Animal and I have all of her documentation here" Justis Said, "I do not care, we have people with allergies to dogs. Me, "The law states that the only reason you can deny my and my Service dog is if she is not house broken or she is acting out. (Amilia, my service dog, was laying down my feet, as she could since I was having a panic attack from the tone of Justice' voice, she was calm and working ding her job). I explained to Justis the laws, and was willing to show him the documentation as well as the Federal and ADA regulations. he was firm on the fact that he was unwilling to look. At that time I left the building. I was feeling rejected and very close to just going to the store to drink. It was a good thing I had a close friend and Eric and my Amilia to talk me through this.
