Recovery Support in Altadena, CA Beyond Meetings

What kinds of alcohol support are there in California?

Five things are commonly confused with each other. They differ in who supervises them, whether you live there, and how they are paid for.

Alcohol support options in California compared by what they are, medical supervision, and how they are paid for

Is it safe to stop drinking without medical help?

Not always, and this is the one thing on this page worth reading twice. Stopping suddenly after heavy daily drinking can cause withdrawal that ranges from uncomfortable to genuinely dangerous, which is why medically supervised detox exists as a service distinct from counselling or rehab. If you drink heavily every day, the safe order is to speak to a doctor or a withdrawal service first, then use meetings to hold the ground you gain. This is the published position of SAMHSA, not advice from this directory.

What is a sober living home and who is it for?

Sober living homes and recovery residences are shared homes where everyone living there is staying sober, usually with house rules, curfews, and required meeting attendance. It is housing, not treatment, and not medical care. People commonly move in after residential treatment, or when going home would mean returning to the circumstances the drinking grew in. Residents in California typically attend local AA meetings as part of the house agreement, which is where a schedule like the one on this page stops being abstract.

Where can I get free and confidential help now?
