Alano Club

This Alano Club in El Paso, Texas serves as a dedicated recovery community center rather than a clinical addiction treatment center. The facility provides a safe, sober environment and hosts a wide variety of 12-step meetings.

Here, you'll find a gathering place for individuals seeking to maintain their sobriety through fellowship. The nonprofit organization focuses on peer-led support and spiritual growth rooted in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions.

Sober Support in El Paso

This Alano Club operates as a sober clubhouse and gathering place specifically for recovery fellowship, distinct from medical rehabs or detox centers.

It hosts multiple daily meetings for Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), and other specialty 12-step programs. It follows a peer-led approach that utilizes a model based on mutual support, group sharing, and accountability facilitated by members rather than clinical therapists.

You can also find Al-Anon meetings and family fellowships to help friends and relatives of those with substance use disorders. I found that they're open 365 days a year including holidays to make sure they're a consistent resource for the community.

All age groups and demographics seeking connection and sobriety are welcome and there are no insurance requirements. Meetings are free to attend with the facility funded through member dues, donations, and store sales.

Connecting with the Community

I like that accessing support at this facility is simple and barrier-free as there is no formal admissions process or clinical assessment required. Individuals can visit the location to view the daily schedule of open and closed meetings, purchase recovery materials, or simply find a supportive environment. When you're not in a meeting, you'll be free to explore around El Paso, visiting places like the El Paso Zoo and Botantical Gardens.
