Thousand Oaks, California NA Meetings

NA Meetings in Thousand Oaks

Located in the Conejo Valley, Thousand Oaks is close enough to Los Angeles that recovery resources here overlap with the rest of the county. If you don’t see a meeting that fits with your needs in town, you can drive into Los Angeles, where you’ll find a larger number of groups. This is a common solution for residents of Thousand Oaks.

But there are options within the city limits, too. Local groups meet on a variety of nights, offering both open and closed formats. You’ll find speaker and step studies in the mix.

For even more options, you can check out the California meetings page.

What an NA Meeting Is Like

NA meetings are free gatherings of peers who want to stop using drugs. You don’t have to speak, or pay or sign up for anything. You can simply sit and listen, no pressure.

Some meetings are open (anyone is welcome), while some are closed (specifically for people who want to stop using drugs). You’ll also find a variety of formats. Speaker meetings involve one person sharing their story. Discussion meetings allow the group to cover a specific topic. And step studies walk you though the 12 steps of NA.

Getting to a Meeting Here

This suburb is car dependent, so most people here drive to meetings rather than rely on public transport. But rideshare options are available, and online meetings offer an alternative if transportation is a challenge.
