  • Narcotics Anonymous

    About

    “Do you have a drug problem?

    Talk to someone who’s been there.

    Members meet regularly to talk about their experiences in recovery. More experienced members (known as sponsors) work individually with newer members. The core of the NA program is the Twelve Steps. These “steps” are a set of guidelines outlining a practical approach to recovery. By following these guidelines and working closely with other members, addicts learn to stop using drugs and face the challenges of daily living”

    Online meetings and in person meetings available depending on area.
