Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Michigan are not open to members of the general community. The only individuals who may attend are AA members and individuals who want to find help for alcohol addiction. This creates a welcoming space for members to share their recovery journey with others who have been through a similar experience.

Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Michigan usually revolve around a central theme related to alcohol addiction and recovery. The meeting leader will start by sharing their insights on the subject, which may be taken from an AA text such as Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. Then, they’ll invite others to share.

Dual Diagnosis: Dual diagnosis refers to mental and behavioral health disorders that may influence an individual's alcohol use disorder. Select AA groups or events might offer clinical insight into how underlying psychological issues may impact members’ recovery.

Wheelchair Access: To participate in AA meetings, non-ambulatory clients in Michigan may have wheelchair access, such as the use of ramps and designated parking spaces. These clients can safely navigate the center’s meeting halls, restrooms, and amenities.

Women: Women’s AA meetings in Michigan are community support meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction, including women with alcoholism and those who have loved ones who are addicted to alcohol. These meetings use a 12-step recovery program and are free for women of all ages at no charge.
