Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: In Colorado AA centers, clients may participate in Big Book discussions. This text features real men and women who overcame alcohol use disorder and can inspire clients to strengthen their resolve.

Open: Open AA meetings in Colorado aren’t restricted to members only. Instead, anyone from the community is welcome to attend and learn more about how AA works and what the 12 step recovery model includes. This includes friends, family members, and spouses of individuals seeking alcohol addiction treatment.

Step Meeting: In Colorado, step meetings are provided in AA programs. In step meetings, clients read passages from AA texts, talk about their own progress in that step, and suggest strategies for future progress.

Wheelchair Access: Colorado AA meetings with wheelchair access allow non-ambulatory clients to safely navigate the facility, including meeting halls and restrooms. The center generally has accessible parking spots and ramps.
