Types of AA Meetings

Newcomer: In West Virginia, people who are new to AA can attend AA newcomer meetings to learn more about how it works and what to expect. Experienced members normally guide the discussions and they may go over Steps 1 through 3 in the 12 step program.

Open: Open AA meetings in West Virginia are not limited to AA members only. Instead, anyone from the public is welcome to attend. This allows individuals to learn about how AA operates and what the 12 step model entails. Alcoholics and nonalcohlics can use this time to understand more about alcohol addiction recovery.

Wheelchair Access: West Virginia AA centers assist non-ambulatory clients by providing wheelchair access throughout the facility, including meeting rooms and restrooms. Exterior ramps and designated parking spaces may also be available.
