Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: Massachusetts' AA programs offer peer-led guidance through the 12 Steps and traditions, providing a lifeline of support for those seeking sobriety. AA meetings in the state provide a welcoming environment for individuals and their loved ones, setting the stage for continued personal growth, education, and sobriety.

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.

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.

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.

Women: Women’s AA meetings in Massachusetts are community support meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction, including women with alcoholism and those who have loved ones who are addicted to alcohol. These meetings, which use a 12-step recovery program, are free for women of all ages.
