West Haven, Connecticut NA Meetings

About NA Meetings in West Haven

Narcotics Anonymous is a free, peer-led fellowship for anyone who wants to stop using drugs, with no dues, fees, or attendance requirements. West Haven is served by the Greater New Haven Area of the Connecticut Region of NA, the same area that covers New Haven, Branford, Milford, and Woodbridge.

Finding an NA Meeting in West Haven

West Haven’s own schedule is small, so the finder above leans heavily on proximity, pulling in meetings from New Haven, Milford, Branford, and the rest of the Greater New Haven Area. West Haven’s own meetings are open and beginner-friendly, including a speaker meeting.

To confirm a time or find something specific, call the Connecticut Region’s NA helpline at 800-627-3543, or check New Haven, a few minutes away, for the area’s fullest schedule and its own women’s, men’s, and LGBTQ+ meetings.

Meriden, in the Central Connecticut Area, is further out but part of the same county. Both link back to the Connecticut meeting directory.

Treatment Options In and Near West Haven
