About Alano Club
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.

Addiction Treatments
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 California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
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.

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.
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.
