Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Missouri are not available to the general public and observers are not allowed. The only people who can attend are members of AA and individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction. The discussions are informal and group participation is encouraged.

Step Meeting: Missouri AA centers often involve step meetings, in which groups discuss their experience in various stages of the 12 Step Program. Members can strategize about individual and group interventions to improve their recovery for the next meeting.

Wheelchair Access: In Missouri, non-ambulatory clients may participate in AA meetings via wheelchair access. The center may provide ramps, designated parking, and an open layout to enable full participation.

Wheelchair-Accessible Bathroom: Selected AA centers offer wheelchair-accessible bathrooms for participants. These bathrooms have enough space for a wheelchair to safely navigate, and can include private stalls with guardrails, reachable toilet paper and seat cover dispensers, a wash basin, and other amenities.

Women: Women’s AA meetings in Missouri are peer group meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction. Open to all women at no charge, including women with alcohol addiction and those who have loved ones with alcoholism, these support meetings follow a 12-step recovery curriculum.
