Finding an NA Meeting in Cicero

The finder above searches nearby communities as well as Cicero itself, and here that mostly means Chicago, since Cicero sits right against the city’s West Side rather than a drive away from it. Maywood, a few miles further west, is another option worth checking on a night when nothing local fits.

Cicero’s own recorded meeting is open and built around Basic Text and step study. Chicago’s much larger schedule, minutes away, adds closed, discussion, speaker, and special-population meetings if the local format or night doesn’t work for you.

The Chicagoland Region’s 24-hour helpline is 708-848-4884 (Spanish: 708-848-5194), and the state directory covers the rest of Illinois.

Treatment Options In and Near Cicero
