What are community-based recovery meetings?

Recovery meetings like AA, NA, SMART Recovery, Al-Anon, and Celebrate Recovery are peer-led support groups where people share experiences and support each other in maintaining sobriety or supporting loved ones in recovery.

Are recovery meetings free?

Yes, most community-based recovery meetings are free to attend. Some meetings may pass a voluntary collection, but there is never a fee to participate.

Do I need to make an appointment to attend a meeting?

No appointment is needed. Most meetings are open — you can simply show up at the scheduled time and location. Some meetings are "closed," meaning they are only for people who identify as having a substance use problem.

What is the difference between AA, NA, and SMART Recovery?

AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) uses a 12-step approach focused on alcohol. NA (Narcotics Anonymous) uses a similar 12-step model for all substances. SMART Recovery uses cognitive-behavioral techniques and is non-12-step. Each offers a different path to recovery.

Can I attend meetings if I'm not sure I have a problem?

Absolutely. Open meetings welcome anyone interested in learning about recovery. Many people attend to explore whether they might benefit from support.

What should I expect at my first recovery meeting?

You'll be welcomed by other members. Meetings typically last about an hour. You'll hear others share their experiences. You are not required to speak — just listening is perfectly fine.

Are recovery meetings confidential?

Yes. Anonymity and confidentiality are core principles of all recovery meeting programs. What is shared in meetings stays in meetings.
