Treatment Facilities Committees are formed to coordinate the work of individual AA Members and groups who are interested in carrying our message of recovery to alcoholics in Treatment Facilities.

As we all know, the longest road to an AA meeting is from the treatment center door to an AA door. We try and help make that road less slippery for the newcomer. We take phone numbers and contact lists to treatment, as so we may better bridge the gap from treatment to AA.

A treatment facilities committee may function within the structure of a General Service Committee on the area or district level or it may serve within the structure of a Central Office or InterGroup.

Some single AA groups handle their own Twelve Step work within the group. We work with all standing committees to better serve the still struggling alcoholics.

The most important thing is that we keep the lines of communication open between all committees, and institutions such as Correctional and Hospital Facilities. We can serve no one if we break the lines of communications.

If you're new in recovery or old in recovery and have the desire to serve the still sick and suffering alcoholic, you may find a place as I did working in the Treatment Committee.
