Types of AA Meetings

Closed: Closed AA meetings in Oregon are not open to the public. Community members cannot sit in and observe. Instead, the only attendees are AA members and individuals seeking treatment for alcohol addiction.

Step Meeting: AA groups in Oregon use step meetings as progress reports on the 12 Step Program. Groups read from AA texts like Twelve Steps, discuss how their experience matches the texts, and suggest ways on how to improve their recovery in the step and future steps.

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.
