Treatment and Accessibilities Committee

Are you wondering what Treatment and Accessibilities is all about?

Treatment is about carrying the message to alcoholics in treatment and outpatient settings, where we “Bridge the Gap.” Accessibilities is making sure that all of our members are a part of! Barriers include visible but also silent barriers, mentally and culturally. When most of the people in our meetings are able-bodied, sighting, and hearing, it’s easy to be unaware of accessibilities barriers. Respect for the dignity of others is the foundation for all our efforts to carry the message to alcoholics with diverse needs, with the emphasis on identification, rather than on how we are different.

Accessibilities is about making sure anyone, regardless of barriers in their lives, can find Alcoholics Anonymous and feel a part of.
