Bridging the Gap

Temporary Contact Program

The Temporary Contact Program (TCP) helps alcoholics in corrections or treatment facilities make the transition to the A.A. community. One of the more "slippery" places in the journey to sobriety is between the doors to the facility and the nearest A.A. meeting.

Whether you need a temporary contact or want to volunteer as one, we're here to help bridge that gap.
