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.

How do I find a recovery meeting near me?

Use our meeting finder at meetings.reddoorrecoverynetwork.com. You can search by state, city, or use the "Use My Location" button to find meetings near your current location.
