Hawthorne, California NA Meetings

Narcotics Anonymous in Hawthorne

Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is a fellowship that meets regularly to provide support for each other in stopping drug use. Meetings cost nothing and anyone who wants to stop using is welcome. Hawthorne is inside the Bay Cities Area of NA, which covers the coastal South Bay. The city’s NA meeting schedule is small, so most people must search a slightly wider radius.

• NA area: Bay Cities Area, Southern California Region

How to Find a Meeting Near Hawthorne

Hawthorne had two weekly NA meetings as of September 2026, both at the same address. One is an open discussion and speaker meeting in English. The other, Grupo Quinta Tradición, is in Spanish, which helps when English is not your first language.

Because the finder searches by distance rather than city limits, a Hawthorne search shows meetings from the surrounding South Bay. Gardena is immediately east, Inglewood is just north and Torrance to the south, with the fullest schedule in the area, including open and closed meetings, step study, a women’s meeting and hybrid options. For anywhere else in the state, browse the California directory.

Hawthorne is well served by public transport, with Metro rail stations on the city’s edges and bus routes along the main boulevards. Reaching a meeting in a neighbouring city does not require a car. The Bay Cities Area helpline is (310) 372-9666. The regional Spanish-language line is 1-888-622-4672.

Treatment and Medication Options Near Hawthorne

Meetings and clinical treatment have different goals, but work well together. Options range from outpatient counselling to intensive outpatient, residential care and medically supervised withdrawal. For opioid use disorder, methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone are the medical standard. Taking them does not conflict with attending NA.

The quickest route into county-funded care is the Substance Abuse Service Helpline on 1-844-804-7500. This line is open 24 hours and screens callers. They can refer callers straight to a provider.

Treatment is available at no cost to eligible residents regardless of immigration status and translation is available. Providers operate throughout the South Bay and central Los Angeles. To search by ZIP code, use FindTreatment.gov or call SAMHSA on 1-800-662-4357.

Where to Get Naloxone Near Hawthorne

Naloxone reverses opioid overdoses and is sold over the counter across California without a prescription. The state also gives it away free through the Department of Health Care Services Naloxone Distribution Project, which supplies community organisations, clinics and first responders under a statewide standing order.

Los Angeles County runs self-service kiosks that dispense naloxone and fentanyl test strips at no charge. California’s Good Samaritan law protects people who call 911 for an overdose from certain possession charges.
