How It Works

Types of AA Meetings

Literature: Literature-based AA meetings in Louisiana are peer group meetings for people who are impacted by alcohol addiction. These community support meetings, free for all to attend, emphasize AA literature, such as the Big Book of AA and other writings by AA founders and leaders within a 12-step recovery program.

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.
