Can I just turn up to an AA meeting?

Yes

You can just show up to an AA meeting.

AA meetings are open to anyone interested in attending, and you do not need an appointment or any special permission to attend. Just show up at the time and place of the meeting, and you will be welcomed by the group.

What If You Do Not Want The Steps?

Our non 12 step alcohol treatment track uses cognitive behavioral therapy instead, with no sponsor, no steps and nothing asking you to accept a higher power. It is the same licensed clinical standard as any other program here and it runs on the same insurance benefit. Call 855-955-0771 and admissions verifies your cover on that call.
