Closed: In North Dakota, closed AA meetings are not available to the general public. Only members can attend, as well as individuals who recognize they have a drinking problem and are ready to seek help. The discussions are informal and center around addiction-related topics.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in North Dakota allow members to share their stories, encourage one another, and offer hope for the future. They center around one subject related to alcoholism and recovery, often taken from an AA text, such as Daily Reflections. Leaders begin by sharing first, then others can participate.

Wheelchair-Accessible Bathroom: Selected AA centers offer wheelchair-accessible bathrooms for participants. These bathrooms have enough space for a wheelchair to safely navigate, and can include private stalls with guardrails, reachable toilet paper and seat cover dispensers, a wash basin, and other amenities.
