Types of AA Meetings

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.

Open: In North Daokta, open AA meetings are available to any member of the community, including both alcoholics and nonalcoholics. As members share their experiences, observers can learn more about the AA recovery model and how the program works.

Speaker: AA programs in North Dakota may include motivational speakers to inspire members to maintain sobriety. Speakers rely on humor, reason, charm, and emotions to get their points across.

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.
