The fellowship is free, led by your peers and open to anyone who wants to stop using drugs. The finder at the top of this page lists current in-person meetings.

How to Find a Meeting Near Brentwood

Brentwood is at the far eastern edge of Contra Costa County. The local list of NA meetings is short, with only two active meetings using open, discussion and speaker formats.  The drive north on Brentwood Boulevard toward Oakley is short and a practical way to find a meeting.

The finder is built to look for meetings that meet your needs based on proximity and not city limits. Enter a Brentwood address and the search results include the closest listed meetings regardless of city line.

In practice this means you’ll have a short drive west into Antioch or Oakley with several more options on the calendar. Pittsburg sits a bit further northwest along the same East County corridor. Discovery Bay and Byron, the smaller Delta communities south and east of town, do not currently have their own listed meetings.

The California meetings page covers every listed NA meeting for a full picture of your options within California.

The Overdose Picture in Contra Costa County

The county has built an infrastructure in response to public health substance use that has had a significant impact on overdose deaths.  The national trend is also moving in the right direction.

• 8,606.5 naloxone kits were approved and distributed per 100,000 Contra Costa County residents through the state Naloxone Distribution Project. This was from 2018 through 2025. This is a count of kits handed out and not a count of overdoses reversed.
• 69,973 estimated drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2025, down almost 14% from 81,313 in 2024 and marking the third consecutive annual decline.

The naloxone figure is based on county information reported per 100,000 residents. It is not specific to Brentwood.

Treatment Options In and Near Brentwood

NA meetings provide you with peer support and not clinical treatment. Many people in the local area use both treatment strategies. Levels of care range from outpatient counseling to residential programs to medically supervised withdrawal management and medications for opioid use disorder.

These medications can include methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. These are the standard of care that are supported by years of research. Medical treatment professionals often recommend the combination of clinical treatment and NA meetings for support during your recovery journey.

Contra Costa Health funds this range of care countywide. Treatment may include medication assisted treatment. The same Behavioral Health Access Line that handles crisis calls at (888) 678-7277 is also the entry point for treatment. No licensed opioid treatment program operates in Brentwood.

The nearest is BAART Programs Antioch that is listed in the California Department of Health Care Services Narcotic Treatment Program directory dated August 3, 2026.

FindTreatment.gov searches by zip code to compare treatment centers that are close and currently accepting patients. The SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357 is free and confidential 24/7.

Overdose Prevention and Naloxone

Naloxone is sold over the counter at California pharmacies. The state’s CalRx naloxone dropped to $19 for a two-dose carton in January 2026. California’s Good Samaritan law is found in the Health and Safety Code section 11376.5.

This gives limited protection from prosecution for simple drug possession to someone who calls for help at an overdose. Contra Costa Health runs a countywide naloxone and harm reduction program with more detail than fits on this page. The Concord meetings page covers the county’s full naloxone access points, including free mail and library options.
