Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Rhode Island residents in AA programs often use the Big Book as a source for inspiration. This anthology contains stories about real women and men who successfully managed their alcohol use disorder.

Open: In Rhode Island, open AA meetings allow both members and observers to attend. This includes individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction as well as anyone who wants to understand more about AA and its recovery program. Members can share their stories while observers are free to listen and learn.

Wheelchair Access: Rhode Island’s AA centers may have wheelchair access for non-ambulatory clients. Exterior features include ramps and designated parking, while the facility may have an open layout for meeting halls, restrooms, and amenities.
