Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Wisconsin, closed AA meetings are not open to the general public and nonalcoholics cannot attend. The only people who may attend are AA members and individuals who understand they have a drinking problem and want to begin recovery. The discussions are informal and everyone can share.

Step Meeting: Wisconsin AA centers often feature step meetings within their programs. Members discuss AA literature and their own experiences before strategizing on how to make their recovery stronger throughout the 12 Step program.

Wheelchair Access: In Wisconsin, non-ambulatory clients participate in AA meetings through wheelchair access. Facilities may include exterior ramps, designated parking, and open floor spaces for safe navigation.

Wheelchair-Accessible Bathroom: Selected AA centers offer wheelchair-accessible bathrooms for participants. These bathrooms have enough space for a wheelchair to safely navigate, and can include private stalls with guardrails, reachable toilet paper and seat cover dispensers, a wash basin, and other amenities.
