Is My Addiction Covered?

There is a good chance that your addiction is covered. Some of the most common 12 Step addiction programs are:

• AA – Alcoholics Anonymous
• AAA – All Addictions Anonymous is a catch all group that helps to serve any addiction
• CA – this one is bit confusing because it can stand for Cocaine Anonymous or CrystalMeth Anonymous
• HA – Heroin Anonymous
• MA – Methamphetamines Anonymous
• NA – Narcotics Anonymous
• PA – Pills Anonymous for addiction to medications and pills

There are hundreds more covering every addiction possible. Choosing the one that fits best with your addiction and needs is extremely important. An ill-fitting program could lead to relapse.

Where Should I go for Help?

Unfortunately, 12 Step Programs like the AA meetings in California are not the complete solution to addiction problems. It takes a full treatment program. A full treatment program consists of:

• Medication if needed
• Counseling
• 12 Step Facilitation Therapy
• Treatment of co-occurring disorders

All of these are available at most quality treatment centers. Many major cities like Fresno and Anaheim have multiple treatment centers. You can find comprehensive treatment facilities that offer inpatient and outpatient treatment with 12 Step Groups in California cities like Inglewood and Sacramento. There are also many treatment facilities across the state. To find the right treatment program for you, get help today at 800-781-0748 (Who Answers?) .

Understanding the Different types of 12 Step Meetings in California

There are a few basic types of 12 Step Meetings for example the basic California NA Meetings have open and closed types.

• Open meetings allow people who are not addicted to alcohol or drugs to observe. These meetings welcome anyone who wants to come, although only those who are addicts can speak
• Closed meetings are for alcohol and drug addicts only. Members of the community and family are not permitted.

Unlike other programs such as SMART and Rational Recovery, 12 Step Meetings are more personal and emphasize an external cause and effect rather than a completely internal one. In 12 Step recovery addiction is seen as a disease out of your control and in SMART it is completely in your control.
