Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings can link you to others who are in recovery from substance use disorder (SUD). The support you receive from sharing with and learning from others can help you cope with changes and difficulties you may encounter on your road to long-term sobriety. While they can provide you with the support, resources, and encouragement you need to remain abstinent, it’s important to understand that they aren’t meant to be a cure for your addiction.

Addiction is recognized by the experts as a chronic and relapsing brain disease. Like other diseases, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, the conditions of addiction can be treated and managed, but will always be subject to environmental or biological influences that can cause the recurrence of symptoms.

What Is a Narcotics Anonymous Meeting?

Narcotics Anonymous helps people find recovery support, as well as structure and help leading their new lives.

Narcotics Anonymous meetings are meetings for groups of people who have a shared interest in remaining free from active addiction and want to help others do the same. They involve a diverse group of individuals who share their own experiences to help others gain insight into the benefits of recovery over the consequences of addiction.

Narcotics Anonymous (N.A.) meetings are free, non-judgmental, non-intrusive, and non-political, open to everyone regardless of age, education, ethnicity, drug of choice, and socioeconomic status. Millions of people worldwide use 12-Step group support meetings like Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A) and N.A. to find greater value in their lives and guidance throughout their recovery paths.

Addiction Recovery

Addiction can happen to anyone. While your first instinct may be to use your own willpower to overcome your addiction, seeking professional help is the best way to achieve long-term recovery and sobriety. 

Despite your best efforts to control your addiction, it isn’t something that you can automatically turn on and off at will or cure. It requires making the necessary life changes that reduce the power and influence of illicit substances in your life.
