Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: In Nevada, AA programs frequently contain Big Book discussions to inspire clients. The Big Book features dozens of stories about real women and men who successfully controlled their alcohol use disorder.

Newcomer: In Nevada, AA newcomer meetings are open to people who are uninitiated with the program and want to understand how it works as they begin their recovery from alcohol addiction. Experiened members usually lead the sessions, which may follow a discussion format or more structured lessons.

Open: In Nevada, open AA meetings are accessible to anyone in the community. In addition to individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction, nonalcoholics can also attend to learn more about the 12 step program and how to support their friend or loved one in their recovery journey.

Wheelchair Access: Non-ambulatory clients in Nevada may fully participate in AA meetings in centers that have wheelchair access. These features may include open layout, exterior ramps, and designated parking.
