Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Missouri are not available to the general public and observers are not allowed. The only people who can attend are members of AA and individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction. The discussions are informal and group participation is encouraged.

Men: Specific AA groups in Missouri might be intended for men only. In free meetings, men of all ages can participate in 12 Step Programs that focus on their health and recovery.

Step Meeting: Missouri AA centers often involve step meetings, in which groups discuss their experience in various stages of the 12 Step Program. Members can strategize about individual and group interventions to improve their recovery for the next meeting.
