Types of AA Meetings

Literature: Oregon literature-led AA meetings are support group meetings for people who are affected by alcohol addiction, including those suffering from alcoholism and those who have loved ones addicted to alcohol. These no-cost community meetings are based on the Big Book of AA and other AA literature as part of a 12-step addiction recovery program.

Open: In Oregon, open AA meetings are available to anyone in the community. They are not restricted to members only, instead allowing all interested parties to attend and learn more about how AA works, what the 12 step model of recovery includes, and how they can support their friends or loved ones battling alcohol addiction.

Outdoor Meeting: Select AA chapters may choose to hold meetings outside. These outdoor meetings are usually held in shared community spaces, such as beaches and parks, and can include outdoor activities.

Wheelchair Access: Oregon AA centers can include wheelchair access for non-ambulatory clients, which can include designated parking and exterior ramps. Interior features can include open floor spaces to access meeting halls, restrooms, and amenities.
