Treatment Committee Overview
The Treatment Facilities committee coordinates the work of individual members and groups who are interested in carrying our message of recovery to alcoholics in treatment facilities, and to set up means of “bridging the gap” from the facility to an A.A. group in the community.
The Treatment Committee is responsible for bringing a program into various treatment facilities called Bridging the Gap. The purpose of this program is to help the patient in treatment get to an A.A. meeting upon their release. Committee members answer the Bridging the Gap Hotline, help patients who do not have transportation available and they are often the first A.A. contact for a patient in treatment. As it states in the Bridging the Gap literature, it is a “first contact program.”
This program is made up of over 400 volunteers throughout the area who are willing to help alcoholics who are just getting out of treatment programs. This committee also strives to further the understanding of what A.A. does and does not do to hospital and treatment center staff.
If you wish to volunteer, please contact gro.imes-aa.gnigats@riahctnemtaert33aera.
