Blue Ridge Mountain Recovery Center incorporates the 12-Step philosophy into its programming.

AA is specifically designed for those recovering from alcoholism. While in this kind of alcohol abuse support group, you can learn from the experiences of others, and receive encouragement from them. Additionally, you can share your own experiences with alcohol abuse, and be a source of support for your peers.

Many AA groups are open, which means anyone is welcome to attend and share their insights. Closed meetings, on the other hand, are meant only for those who are in recovery. Regardless of the type of meeting you attend, you can still benefit from the nonjudgmental support that these groups offer.
