This directory lists 99 AA meetings in New Brunswick across 56 cities. AA is not treatment and does not provide detox, medical care, or housing. Those are separate services, and knowing which is which matters.

What kinds of alcohol support are there in Canada?

Alcohol support options in Canada compared by what they are, medical supervision, and how they are paid for
OptionWhat it isMedically supervisedHow it is paid for
AA meetingsFree peer support groups, in person and onlineNoFree, self supporting through member contributions
DetoxShort term medically supervised detox while alcohol leaves the bodyYesHealth service or paid, depending on the provider
Residential treatmentInpatient or residential treatment, living on site for a set periodYesHealth service, insurance, or self funded
Outpatient treatmentOutpatient and intensive outpatient programmes, structured sessions while living at homeUsuallyHealth service, insurance, or self funded
Sober livingSober living homes and recovery residences, shared abstinent housing with house rulesNoUsually rent paid by the resident

Is it safe to stop drinking without medical help?

Not always. Stopping suddenly after heavy daily drinking can cause withdrawal that is genuinely dangerous, which is why medically supervised detox exists as its own service. If you drink heavily every day, speak to a doctor or a withdrawal service first. This is the published position of CCSA, not advice from this directory.

What is a sober living home and who is it for?

Sober living homes and recovery residences are shared homes where everyone is staying sober, usually with house rules and required meeting attendance. It is housing, not treatment. Residents commonly move in after residential treatment and attend local AA meetings as part of the house agreement.

Where can I get free and confidential help now?

If you would rather speak to somebody today than read further, these are free, confidential, and not run by this site:

  • Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction.
  • Alcohol helplines in Canada are run province by province rather than nationally. CCSA maintains the current list.
  • Emergency and crisis contacts if the situation is urgent right now.

Service details verified against CCSA on . The AA Directory lists meetings. It does not run, recommend, rank, or take payment from any treatment provider, sober living home operator, or detox service, and has no affiliation with the groups it lists.

Is there support in New Brunswick for family and friends of someone who drinks?

Yes. 59% of the weekly AA schedule in New Brunswick is open meetings, which anyone may attend, including family and friends who want to understand what someone they love is going through.

Al-Anon is a separate fellowship for people affected by someone else's drinking, and Alateen is its program for teenagers. Both are free and list their own meetings, in person and online, at al-anon.org. This directory lists AA meetings only.
