Types of AA Meetings

Open: In Indiana, open AA meetings are not limited to individuals with alcohol addictions only. Instead, anyone from the public is invited to come and learn more about the organization, including how the 12 step recovery model operates and what it entails. This may include the friends, family members, and loved ones of current members or any community member seeking more information.

Speaker: Indiana AA centers often include speakers in their programs to encourage participants to maintain sobriety. Speakers tend to mix charm, humor, raw emotions, and faith to appeal to audiences.

Young People: AA meetings for young people are intended for members in early adulthood, usually in their late teens and twenties. These groups focus on the experiences and issues that young people may face in their recovery.
