Types of AA Meetings

Babysitting Available: AA centers might have pre-existing available babysitting services, which they make available for members during meetings. Services vary in terms of cost, ages of children accepted, and amenities for babysitters, members, and children.

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Colorado are restricted to just members or anyone who has a drinking problem and wants to seek help. Discussions are informal. Everyone is encouraged to participate and share about their alcohol addiction and recovery journey.

Open: Open AA meetings in Colorado aren’t restricted to members only. Instead, anyone from the community is welcome to attend and learn more about how AA works and what the 12 step recovery model includes. This includes friends, family members, and spouses of individuals seeking alcohol addiction treatment.

Step Meeting: In Colorado, step meetings are provided in AA programs. In step meetings, clients read passages from AA texts, talk about their own progress in that step, and suggest strategies for future progress.

Wheelchair Access: Colorado AA meetings with wheelchair access allow non-ambulatory clients to safely navigate the facility, including meeting halls and restrooms. The center generally has accessible parking spots and ramps.
