Akron, Ohio NA Meetings

NA Meetings in Akron, Ohio

Akron is just south of Cleveland in the northern half of Ohio. The city has a population of just under 190,000 and hosts a full week of Narcotics Anonymous meetings on most days. You have access to a mix of formats spread across Summit County.

Open sessions welcome anyone curious about the program and closed sessions are for people who identify as having a drug problem and want to quit. During the week, you can attend speaker meetings, discussion groups and step study groups. 

Cleveland offers more options when there are not local meetings that work with your schedule. Our Ohio NA meetings page offers a full statewide picture of available options when you want to compare or are traveling throughout the state.

What Happens During an NA Meeting?

NA has a very low barrier to entry. You don’t have to speak at a meeting, don’t have to have any clean time to walk through the door, do not sign in when you arrive and pay no cost to attend. There is no requirement to attend an NA meeting except to come. 

A discussion group facilitates a conversation across a shared topic and a speaker meeting is one where the speaker tells their story. Step study meetings work through the NA 12 steps, often with a sponsor who guides the group.

The Narcotics Anonymous page explains how fellowship works in more detail, and the support groups page covers options for family members who want a meeting of their own. 

Getting to a Meeting in Akron, Ohio

The groups that meet in Akron are not concentrated in a single neighborhood. This makes a car or a ride share the most practical way to find a meeting that fits your schedule. An online meeting helps when you don’t have transportation or you can’t attend a meeting on the local schedule.
