Information for the Professional Community

Alcoholics Anonymous has a wealth of resources for those who work with alcoholics, including medical and other health-care professionals, counselors, therapists, social workers, clergymembers, human resources personnel, attorneys, judges, treatment and correctional facility personnel, and many others.

  • Literature. A selection of pamphlets is available — free — for you and for those with a drinking problem.
  • Presentations. Presentations can be arranged in your offices or facility by volunteer AA members. There is no cost for presentations.
  • Open AA Meetings. Anyone interested in learning more about AA is welcome to attend "open" meetings. We can arrange for an AA member to attend with you. There is no cost. AA is self-supporting through voluntary contributions of its members. The difference between open and closed AA meetings is explained on the About AA Meetings page. Open meetings are indicated with an "O" on the Meetings Schedule.

In addition, much basic A.A. information, including the complete text of the book Alcoholics Anonymous, is available online at the AA World Services web site. At that site, there is also information on subscribing — free — to "About AA," our newsletter for professionals.

In most areas, including on the Monterey Peninsula, there will be one or more committees responsible for providing information on AA. The local AA office is usually the best first contact.
