About West Central Intergroup of Maryland
West Central Intergroup of Maryland located in Frederick, Maryland is a volunteer driven and peer supported group of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). They seek to provide services to individuals looking to recover from alcoholism through AA’s twelve steps. All AA meetings and support are at no cost to you. If you’re looking to purchase any books or pamphlets, these are at a low cost, but all proceeds go towards supporting local AA activities.
I think it’s important to note that West Central Intergroup does not offer clinical treatment, detox services, or medical treatment. They can help provide resources to point you to other AA resources but do not provide these services themselves.
Meeting groups are available that support specific groups like women, men, LGBTQ+ individuals, young adults, and Spanish speaking individuals. This helps to support a variety of individuals who are seeking specialized formats for meetings.
Resources Provided to You Through Volunteers and Community Outreach
At West Central Intergroup, the focus is on peer support and the 12-step recovery model. They ensure that meetings are anonymous, confidential, and accessible for anyone seeking help. Volunteers help out with operating meetings and other support tasks. There is also outreach to other organizations, facilities, and hospitals if you request that information. This can be a great resource to connect you with clinical treatment options if you’re looking for it.
West Central Intergroup is also located near downtown Frederick which can be a way to explore local parks, community centers, restaurants, and the public library. If you’re looking for a green space, Baker Park is a calming place to walk trails and find restoration in nature.

Levels of Care
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.
Once a person has become addicted to a substance, drug rehab in Maryland is often necessary to overcome that addiction. These programs provide the tools individuals need to manage the physical, mental, and emotional issues involved and begin a successful recovery journey.
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 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.
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.
