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.

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.

Women: Oregon women’s AA meetings are group meetings for women who are impacted by alcohol addiction - those who have alcohol addiction and those who have loved ones who are suffering from alcoholism. Open to women of all ages in the community, these meetings follow a 12-step program for recovery and are free to attend.
