Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Arizona are for AA members only, or anyone who has a problem with drinking and wants to stop. Observers from the community are not allowed to attend. Discussions are informal and all members are invited to participate.

Newcomer: In Arizona, individuals just starting their recovery journeys can attend AA newcomer meetings to learn more about the program and what it includes. Experienced members typically lead the meetings, which may include informal discussions or an overview of Steps 1, 2, and 3 of the 12 step program.

Wheelchair Access: AA meetings in Arizona that have wheelchair accessibility allow clients to safely navigate the facility, which includes ramps and parking spots. Non-ambulatory clients have friendly access to meeting halls, restrooms, and any additional amenities.
