Hospitals & Institutions

Members of Treatment Committees work to carry the A.A. message into treatment settings where suffering alcoholics, and the professionals who treat them, may be introduced to A.A.

    Treatment Committees

    Committee members:

      • Bring the message of hope for recovery to alcoholics in a variety of treatment settings
      • Demonstrate to administrators and staff “how it works” and are instruments of attraction to the A.A. program
      • Provide information about A.A., as well as literature and guidelines for setting up A.A. meetings in treatment facilities and outpatient settings

    Bridging the Gap

    The local Bridging the Gap program, or BTG, connects new members being discharged from a facility to A.A. in their community.

    Clients can request contacts through the A.A. Temporary Contact/Bridging the Gap Request form.

    A.A. members can serve as A.A. Temporary Contact/Bridging the Gap Volunteers.
