Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Oregon are not open to the public. Community members cannot sit in and observe. Instead, the only attendees are AA members and individuals seeking treatment for alcohol addiction.

Fragrance Free: AA meetings that are fragrance free means that members are not allowed to wear perfumes, scented colognes or lotions, or to bring in clothing or air fresheners with fragrances. This ban is in consideration of members who may have sensitivities to artificial and chemical scents.

Men: AA chapters in Oregon provide free 12 Step Programs for members recovering from alcohol use disorder. Men may participate in men-only groups to address issues that specifically concern their health and recovery.
