Meetings In and Around Irving

Irving sits between Dallas and the Mid-Cities, so range matters more here than any one city’s listing. The finder above measures distance from where you are, and a search from an Irving ZIP code reaches Farmers Branch to the northeast, Grand Prairie to the south and northwest Dallas a few exits east on SH-183.

You can find a wider state list of meetings on the Texas NA meetings page.

Formats recorded for Irving in the site’s July 2026 meeting snapshot:

• Open meetings, which anyone may attend
• Discussion meetings, where members talk through a topic rather than hear one speaker

Nearby groups run other formats. The finder also reaches online meetings in the Dallas area. If you need to contact someone at The Lone Star Region directly, its helpline is answered 24 hours a day at 1-888-629-6757, with a Spanish-language line at 1-888-600-6229.

Substance Use in Dallas County

Getting Treatment In and Around Irving

Meetings and clinical care are separate supports, and many people in Irving use both at the same time. The evidence-based standard of care for opioid use disorder is the use of FDA-approved medications like methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Using these treatment options does not keep someone from participating in NA.

If you are interested in learning more about the levels of care, they are covered on the addiction treatment hub.

Naloxone Access in Dallas County

Another important harm reduction measure is RecoveryPeople and Naloxone Texas (2026). Irving is one of five cities the county added in October 2025 to its Overdose Response Team.

NA Meetings in Irving: Questions and Answers

Are there NA meetings in Irving, Texas?

Yes. According to the site’s July 2026 meeting snapshot,  Irving has an active NA group. Additionally, because the finder searches by distance, an Irving ZIP code also returns meetings in Farmers Branch, Grand Prairie and northwest Dallas.

Does it count anything to attend a meeting?

No, there are no fees or dues in NA.  Groups pass a basket for voluntary contributions from group members to cover rent, coffee and literature; however, no one is required to give.

Does NA work alongside methadone or buprenorphine?

Yes. In fact, the use of medication-assisted treatment utilizing methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone is the evidence-based standard of care for opioid use disorder. Many people who attend NA are also using this approach as a part of their comprehensive treatment plan.

Keep in mind that groups differ in how much they discuss medication. Furthermore, any decisions about medication belong between you and your clinician.

I don’t have a car; is there another way to get to a meeting?

Often, yes. DART’s Orange Line runs the length of Irving. It extends from DFW Airport Terminal A east toward Dallas, with stations at the Belt Line, Las Colinas Urban Center and Irving Convention Center. Before you set out for a meeting, be sure to check the meeting address against a map of the route to make sure you can find a nearby stop.

If one doesn’t match your needs and you need further assistance, contact the Lone Star Region helpline, which can suggest another.

Is the difference between an open and a closed meeting?

Yes. An open meeting is available to anyone. This includes family members and friends who want to see what NA is like. On the other hand, a closed meeting is for people who use drugs or think they may have a problem with drugs. Irving’s listing includes open meetings, which are often a good place to start.
