Southern California: A Thriving Recovery Community
Southern California is home to the largest recovery community in the nation, offering an incredible network of support for individuals and families seeking healing from addiction. With an estimated 4,000 Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings held weekly across Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside Counties, the region is a true hub for recovery.
Beyond AA, there are daily meetings for Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), and many other 12-step-based fellowships. The Al-Anon Family Program provides hundreds of daily meetings for loved ones impacted by addiction. Alternative and faith-based groups such as Celebrate Recovery and Refuge Recovery also offer meaningful support for those seeking non-traditional or spiritual pathways to healing.
Why Community Matters in Recovery
Twelve-step programs remain one of the most effective forms of aftercare support. While some people feel hesitant about attending meetings, that hesitation often fades with understanding. Newcomers are encouraged to attend 90 meetings in 90 days to give the experience a fair chance. Millions have found long-term recovery and deep personal transformation through 12-step participation.
What makes Southern California unique is its rich cultural diversity, which extends into the recovery space. No matter your background or beliefs, you can find a welcoming recovery community where you feel seen, heard, and supported.
