Milpitas, California NA Meetings

How NA Works in Milpitas

NA is a free fellowship of people who meet regularly. The groups help each other stop using drugs and stay sober. You don’t fill out paperwork, need a referral or pay any fees.

Milpitas belongs to the Greater San Jose Area of Narcotics Anonymous. This group offers roughly 85 meetings a week across the South Bay. No group currently meets inside Milpitas. This means you’ll need to attend a meeting several minutes away.
