Saturday Morning at the Charlestown

Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Clients in Maryland AA centers often use the Big Book for inspiration. The book contains stories about real people who successfully controlled alcohol use disorder.

Open: In Maryland, anyone in the community can attend open AA meetings. This includes individuals seeking treatment for alcohol use disorder and nonalcoholics who want to understand more about the program. Family, relatives, and loved ones of alcoholics can attend AA meetings to learn about addiction and what to expect as their loved one recovers.

Wheelchair Access: Maryland AA centers may include wheelchair access for non-ambulatory clients. Features may include ramps, designated parking spaces, and safe navigability of the center’s layout.
