Types of AA Meetings

Open: Open AA meetings in Louisiana are available to anyone who wants to learn more about the program and how its recovery model works. Participants can include individuals seeking treatment for alcohol addiction as well as nonalcoholics interested in the 12 step program.

Step Meeting: Louisiana AA centers often include step meetings in their programs. Clients can talk about their recovery experience and how they compare with those in AA texts. The group then makes a commitment to better their recovery by the next meeting.

Tradition Study: Tradition Study sessions are AA reflections about the organization. Members discuss how AA chapters can be more successful in their purpose through greater unity and its outreach programs.

Wheelchair Access: Louisiana AA meetings with wheelchair access may feature ramps and designated parking spaces. Non-ambulatory clients can safely navigate the center’s meeting spaces and amenities.
