AA groups have been active in Amsterdam, Netherlands for decades. Meetings are open to anyone who wants to stop drinking, whether you live here or are just visiting.
Meetings in Amsterdam follow the same 12-step program used worldwide. Many are conducted in the local language, but some cities also hold English-speaking meetings for international visitors.
Everything shared in AA meetings stays confidential. "Who you see here, what you hear here, when you leave here, let it stay here" is a fundamental principle that protects everyone's privacy and creates a safe space for honest sharing.
The only requirement to attend is a desire to stop drinking. Amsterdam's AA groups welcome anyone at any stage, no prior experience needed.
This directory lists 56 AA meetings in Amsterdam, Netherlands at 17 venues. 12 of them meet online. AA is not treatment and does not provide detox, medical care, or housing. Those are separate services, and knowing which is which matters.
| Option | What it is | Medically supervised | How it is paid for |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA meetings | Free peer support groups, in person and online | No | Free, self supporting through member contributions |
| Detox | Short term medically supervised detox while alcohol leaves the body | Yes | Health service or paid, depending on the provider |
| Residential treatment | Clinical addiction treatment, living on site for a set period | Yes | Health service, insurance, or self funded |
| Outpatient treatment | Ambulatory addiction care, structured sessions while living at home | Usually | Health service, insurance, or self funded |
| Sober living | Sober living and supported housing, shared abstinent housing with house rules | No | Usually rent paid by the resident |
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 Alcoholinfo.nl, not advice from this directory.
Sober living and supported housing 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.
If you would rather speak to somebody today than read further, these are free, confidential, and not run by this site:
