What is Narcotics Anonymous?
Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is a 12-step support group for people who have or had a drug problem. NA began in Los Angeles, California in 1953. NA meetings can now be found across the globe. There are over 70,000 weekly meetings in 144 countries.
Membership is open to addicts of any drug or combination of drugs or alcohol. It is not limited to those who only used narcotics. Narcotics Anonymous considers alcohol a drug, those who misuse alcohol are welcome to join. The only requirement for joining is the desire of the addicts to change their lives and help one another to live completely drug-free.
There is no cost for membership, but donations are accepted from members to cover costs of meeting locations and anything else that may be needed by the group. NA does not accept outside donations or government funding. Each local meeting group is independently run by its own members.
Narcotics Anonymous is not connected to any medical, religious, political, or law enforcement group. Anyone may join, no matter their age, race, or sexual orientation. The 12 step process is spiritual in nature, but no specific religious beliefs are required. A person can be from any religious background or have no religious background at all. What matters is the desire to stop using drugs.
