Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Massachusetts are limited to members and individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction. Members of the general public cannot attend and observe. Discussions are geared toward topics that would best resonate with current alcoholics and individuals in recovery.

Step Meeting: In Massachusetts, AA programs include step meetings based on the 12 Step Program. Members read out of AA texts, compare their recovery to the stages, and discuss goals to improve their resilience throughout the program.

Wheelchair Access: AA meetings in Massachusetts may include an open floor plan for full wheelchair access. Non-ambulatory clients may also have access to ramps and designated parking spaces.
