Women's meetings — there are none
The central office lists exactly one AA meeting in Walnut: Tuesday 7:30 p.m. Participation, First Baptist Church of Walnut Valley, 20425 E. La Puente Road. It is not a women's meeting (San Gabriel Valley & Pomona Valley Central Office).
No Walnut NA meeting appears in the regional directory (SoCal NA directory) and no Walnut Celebrate Recovery group could be verified. For a women's room, the nearest options are the Covina four-a-week cluster and the Claremont five-a-week cluster (central office listing).
What Walnut doesn't have
Housing, entirely. The Recovery Housing Directory has no Walnut homes (Walnut listing). One co-ed meeting a week and no bed of any kind means a woman leaving treatment near Walnut is placed outside it by default.
Her Aria is twenty-one minutes east on one bus: women only, gated, from $950/month, MAT welcome. Refer a client.
Getting here from Walnut
Foothill Transit 480 lists Walnut among its cities and runs West Covina to Pomona to Montclair Transit Center — a single-seat ride that passes Mt. SAC (Line 480). Lines 190, 194 and 486 also serve Walnut but run west toward El Monte, away from Montclair (Line 190, Line 194, Line 486).
Two standing caveats for anyone planning a discharge. Meeting nights and times change constantly — call the club or the church office before you put a woman on a bus. And neither central office lists an AA meeting inside Montclair city limits (Inland Empire Central Office, San Gabriel Valley & Pomona Valley Central Office), so residents here travel to Upland, Claremont, Chino, Ontario or Pomona for AA. Drive times on this page are free-flow estimates routed from the Montclair 91763 centroid, not promises. Crisis and county intake numbers are on our resources page.
