About AA – Alcoholics Anonymous

AA – Alcoholics Anonymous is a nonprofit substance abuse support group in Phoenix, Arizona. AA groups are not typical rehabilitation programs but are peer-led recovery groups that follow a set structure. They serve adult clients.

AA groups help clients through a structured environment that walks them through the stages of recovery under the guidance of a mentor. By participating, clients can offer their own life experiences to help one another.

AA programs are not traditional rehabilitation programs. They occur in casual settings, do not involve clinical or medical methods, and usually don’t involve medical staff. These are support groups supported by members.

AA groups follow an established 12-Step program that begins with clients admitting their addiction and accepting that they are powerless over it without help. They are encouraged to find help in a self-designated higher power. As they continue following the Steps, clients learn how to accept responsibility for their actions and the importance of making amends with those whom their addiction has hurt.

Ultimately, clients who progress through the program become mentors to those new to the program.

AA meetings do not require insurance. However, clients who are interested in traditional rehab programs should first consult with their insurance provider to confirm coverage, as in network and out of network benefits can vary.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12-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).

Treatments

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.

Drug rehab in Arizona is the process of treating individuals who are dependent on a particular addictive drug. Because addiction is complex, this treatment typically includes a variety of interventions that address the many physical and emotional issues involved.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

Adult Program

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 Adult Program

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.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
