This directory lists 36 AA meetings in Venice, CA at 32 venues. AA meetings are free and Alcoholics Anonymous is self supporting, so there is no fee, no insurance check, and no intake form. AA is not treatment and does not provide detox, medical care, or housing. Those are separate services, and knowing which is which is the difference between getting the right help and getting none.
Five things are commonly confused with each other. They differ in who supervises them, whether you live there, and how they are paid for.
| Option | What it is | Medically supervised | How it is paid for |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA meetings | Free peer support groups, in person and online | No | Free, self supporting through member contributions |
| Detox | Short term medically supervised detox while alcohol leaves the body | Yes | Health service or paid, depending on the provider |
| Residential treatment | Inpatient or residential treatment, living on site for a set period | Yes | Health service, insurance, or self funded |
| Outpatient treatment | Outpatient and intensive outpatient programmes, structured sessions while living at home | Usually | Health service, insurance, or self funded |
| Sober living | Sober living homes and recovery residences, shared abstinent housing with house rules | No | Usually rent paid by the resident |
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.
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.
If you would rather speak to somebody today than read further, these are free, confidential, and not run by this site:
