Types of AA Meetings

Open: Open AA meetings in Michigan allow anyone who wants to learn more about AA and the 12 step model of recovery to attend. This may include individuals seeking support for alcohol use disorder or nonalcoholics who want to support their friends, loved ones, and relatives on their recovery journey.

Smoking Permitted: Select AA chapters may allow permit smoking during the meeting or have a designated space for smoking in accordance with the facility’s policy and local ordinances. Smoking may include other tobacco usage and vaping.

Wheelchair Access: To participate in AA meetings, non-ambulatory clients in Michigan may have wheelchair access, such as the use of ramps and designated parking spaces. These clients can safely navigate the center’s meeting halls, restrooms, and amenities.

Women: Women’s AA meetings in Michigan 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 use a 12-step recovery program and are free for women of all ages at no charge.
