The village of Essex, Illinois is in Kankakee County, and is part of the the Kankakee-Bradley Metropolitan Statistical Area. Locals here do not have to go far if they are seeking nearby AA meetings Illinois. There are AA meetings Essex that can help them overcome alcohol addiction and build a sober life. Most individuals should also seek out professional addiction treatment to get sober, especially if they drink heavily and have a severe physical dependency on alcohol. Such individuals will be best off at an inpatient program at a medical facility. A less intensive approach is an outpatient program, which allows the patient to live at home while in treatment. This can be great for someone with an excellent support system in place, but for people who live alone or in less secure environments, it may be wise to seek residential or inpatient treatment first. For anyone, but especially for people who live alone, it can be a good idea to initially attend AA meetings daily after getting sober or leaving a treatment program. People in recovery need time to become accustomed to independent living without drinking, and to create new habits and activities that complement their sobriety.
