Is Alcoholics Anonymous For Me?

Alcoholics Anonymous is a free service offered to the public to facilitate recovery process for those battling alcohol addiction. An independent organization with programs worldwide, it is free from ties to any one denomination, organization or political party. Alcoholics Anonymous opens its program to anyone with a sincere desire to stop drinking and achieve a life of sobriety.

According to studies, 25 percent to 40 percent of all hospital beds are occupied by those being treated for illnesses directly related to alcoholism. It costs the American people a staggering $185 billion a year in the way of health care, business and criminal justice. This, of course, does not include the emotional toll alcoholism takes on the families, friends or innocent victims of drunk drivers.

Alcoholics Anonymous does not focus on why someone developed the disease but rather upon the day-to-day lives of those who are struggling with alcoholism. By focusing on the disease rather than the cause, Alcoholics Anonymous is better able to help guide participants along their journey of sobriety. AA does this by providing support through regular meetings, maintaining respect for anonymity, and encouraging success one day at a time.

At The Canyon, we incorporate traditional Alcoholics Anonymous principles as well as 12-step based support group meetings into our comprehensive alcohol rehab program.

Who is Alcoholics Anonymous?

Alcoholics Anonymous is comprised of members from every social and economic background with meetings in almost every country on the planet. There is no one particular group less susceptible to alcoholism than another; alcoholism is an equal opportunity disease. Education, race, class status, or age have no bearing on the victims of this tragic problem. For this reason, Alcoholics Anonymous is open to everyone who has a problem with drinking and a genuine desire to stop.

AA employees the 12 Step Program, a process that help members maintain sobriety throughout their lives. Rather than dwelling on past mistakes or projecting into the future, AA is helping members find success by showing them how to focus on today. The achievements of today are the inspiration for tomorrow. One day at a time-for a lifetime.

Who Isn't in Alcoholics Anonymous?

Statistically speaking, nearly half of all those who join AA drop out within the first three months. An inability for some to accept that alcoholism is truly a problem or issues with following through with the 12 Step Program to recovery are the major hindrances to completing the program successfully. Only 20 percent of alcoholics attending meetings do so regularly. Those who do attend regularly have a high success rate in recovery.

Is Alcoholics Anonymous Effective?

While Alcoholics Anonymous has not been proven to be any more successful than some of the other programs offered to those battling addiction, it is evident that those who are committed to seeing their recovery through do quite well in AA. The 12 Step Program is highly effective in producing not only abstinence from alcohol, but a change in lifestyle that is conducive to emotional wellbeing and overall growth.

Alcoholics Anonymous Integrated Into Alcohol Rehab at The Canyon

The Healing Life Program at The Canyon integrates a variety of methods that have been proven successful in treating alcoholism including the tenets of Alcoholics Anonymous. Because alcoholism affects multiple facets of your life, The Canyon treats more than just physical addiction to alcohol and drugs.
