Types of AA Meetings

Closed: In Utah, closed AA meetings are restricted to just members of AA and people who realize they have a drinking problem and want to take steps toward recovery. The discussions include topics that are best understood by others who have taken this path before and have insights to share.

Open: Open AA meetings in Utah are not restricted to members only. Anyone from the public can attend to learn more about how the program works, what the 12 step recovery model includes, and how they can support someone they know with alcohol addiction. Members may share their personal stories and recovery journeys while non-members can listen and observe.
