Types of AA Meetings

Big Book: Clients in North Dakota AA programs find inspiration in the Big Book. This set of stories is about real women and women who successfully controlled their alcohol use disorder.

Closed: In North Dakota, closed AA meetings are not available to the general public. Only members can attend, as well as individuals who recognize they have a drinking problem and are ready to seek help. The discussions are informal and center around addiction-related topics.

Smoking Permitted: Select AA chapters may allow permit smoking during the meeting or have a designated space for smoking in accordance with the facility’s policy and local ordinances. Smoking may include other tobacco usage and vaping.

Wheelchair Access: North Dakota AA centers provide non-ambulatory clients with wheelchair access. These features generally consist of exterior ramps, designated parking spots, and open layouts for full participation.
