Closed meetings are sometimes a little more complicated than that. Some are for professionals who want to be sure no one there is going to say they saw them there. Others are for "alcohol issues" only. Still others are designed to filter out members with kids or may even be male/female/gay/lesbian specific.

It all depends on what the group conscious decides and may even change over time. It would be best to look for "open meetings" at first to ensure everyone is welcome. If anyone complains about drug sharing at an open meeting, just ask em what "open" means?
