Types of AA Meetings

12 Steps & 12 Traditions: North Dakota's AA embraces the 12 Steps and Traditions, a guildeline of recovery principles desied to help individuals achieve and maintain their sobriety. Open meetings offer a welcoming environment for individuals and their loved ones and foster healing and growth.

Child-Friendly: Child-friendly AA meetings allow each member to bring up to one child to the meeting, with the expectation that the discussion will not feature experiences or language that are inappropriate for the child. Formal childcare may not be available, but the member can watch over her child while participating in the discussion.

Closed: In North Dakota, closed AA meetings are not available to the general public. Only members can attend, as well as individuals who recognize they have a drinking problem and are ready to seek help. The discussions are informal and center around addiction-related topics.

Wheelchair Access: North Dakota AA centers provide non-ambulatory clients with wheelchair access. These features generally consist of exterior ramps, designated parking spots, and open layouts for full participation.
