Direct peers

• Triangle Alano Club (Raleigh NC): The Triangle Alano Club is a nonprofit recovery clubhouse serving AA, NA, Al-Anon, and other 12-step meetings in the Raleigh-Durham area with affordable room rentals. It is directly comparable as a community-led, member-fee-based 12-step meeting venue and sober social space, much like the Brunswick club.
• Atlanta Alano Club: The Atlanta Alano Club is a longstanding nonprofit recovery clubhouse providing meeting space for AA, NA, and other 12-step groups in a sober, drug-free environment. Like the Brunswick Twelve Step Recovery Club, it operates as a community-based, volunteer-supported nonprofit offering affordable meeting space and fellowship for recovering persons.
• Alano Club of Portland: The Alano Club of Portland is a nonprofit recovery clubhouse providing meeting space for 12-step groups and a sober social environment. It mirrors the Brunswick Twelve Step Recovery Club's model of renting rooms to AA and similar groups and operating as a community-based sober venue with low-cost amenities.

Broad incumbents

• Oxford House Inc. Oxford House is a large national nonprofit operating a network of democratically-run sober living homes for individuals in recovery. While its model is residential rather than a meeting clubhouse, it is comparable as a long-standing recovery community nonprofit serving the same population and mission space as the Brunswick Twelve Step Recovery Club.
• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: Hazelden Betty Ford is a national nonprofit addiction treatment and recovery provider operating inpatient, outpatient, and recovery support programs. It operates in the same recovery support space as the Brunswick Club but at vastly different scale and with clinical/treatment services the Club explicitly does not provide.

Emerging players

• SMART Recovery USA: SMART Recovery is a nonprofit offering science-based mutual-support meetings as an alternative or complement to 12-step programs. It is comparable to the Club's host role for recovery groups because many SMART meetings take place in donated or rented community spaces similar to the Brunswick facility.
• The Phoenix (recovery community): The Phoenix is a national nonprofit that builds sober communities through fitness, wellness, and social activities for people in recovery. It overlaps with the Brunswick Club on the social/fellowship dimension of recovery support, although it operates as a multi-city network rather than a single facility.

Others

• Faces & Voices of Recovery: Faces & Voices of Recovery is a national nonprofit advocacy and recovery community organization. It is a thematic peer operating in the broader recovery support ecosystem and convening stakeholders that the Brunswick Twelve Step Recovery Club is part of locally.
