The S.E.N.Y. Treatment Facilities Committee serves to support local service committees which bring A.A. meetings into treatment facilities, and which provide information about the A.A. program and fellowship to treatment professionals. It also supports the “Bridging the Gap” Program helping members make the transition from A.A. in treatment facilities to A.A. in the community.
