Hemet, California NA Meetings

About NA Meetings in Hemet

Narcotics Anonymous is a free, peer-led fellowship of support for anyone who wants to stop using drugs. Hemet is served by the Southwest Area of NA, which also covers Murrieta, Temecula, San Jacinto, and Lake Elsinore. Meetings occur in person. Check the finder above for the current schedule.

Finding an NA Meeting in Hemet

The meeting finder searches by proximity, so it also shows meetings in Murrieta and Temecula, both about a half-hour south. In southwest Riverside County, where towns are spread further apart than in the Inland Empire core, that wider net is often the difference between finding a meeting tonight and waiting until tomorrow.

Hemet’s own meetings include open and closed discussion formats along with a Women’s meeting and meetings noted as welcoming children, plus Basic Text and step study. As the largest city in the San Jacinto Valley, Hemet tends to have the fullest local schedule in this part of the Southwest Area.

• Open
• Discussion
• Basic Text & Step Study

The Southwest Area helpline, 951-652-5326, can tell you what’s running this week. To browse other cities, see the California NA meetings page.

Drug Use and Overdose in Riverside County

The national trend has begun to turn, even though totals remain high. Riverside County has logged a large number of fentanyl-involved deaths in the past two years. The county does not report overdose figures by city, so the numbers below are county-wide.

Treatment Options In and Near Hemet

Treatment ranges from outpatient counseling to residential care, and for many people it includes medication. Methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone are FDA-approved, evidence-based medications for opioid use disorder that work alongside NA.

Riverside County runs a public outpatient substance use clinic serving Hemet, located just over the city line in San Jacinto at 1370 South State Street. The county’s Hemet mental health clinic also provides dual-diagnosis and crisis-adjacent psychiatric services for county residents.

For a broader assessment, call the RUHS Substance Use Prevention and Treatment CARES Line at 800-499-3008, or search FindTreatment.gov for additional licensed programs nearby. Read more about levels of care for narcotics addiction.

Naloxone Access and Harm Reduction Resources

Naloxone is available in California without a prescription, and as of January 2026, CalRx-branded over-the-counter naloxone nasal spray costs about $19 for a two-dose pack. Inland Empire Harm Reduction is Riverside County’s state-authorized syringe services program. For Hemet and the rest of southwest Riverside County, request free naloxone and fentanyl test strips by phone or mail through their hotline, 951-446-0983, since their in-person mobile route currently runs closer to Riverside and Jurupa Valley.

California’s Good Samaritan law also offers some protection from drug possession charges for someone who calls 911 to report an overdose. See what happens during an opioid overdose for more info.
