If you have a friend, loved one, or family member who is having a problem with drugs, we suggest you have the person with the problem call our 24 Hour Helpline at 1(888) 779-7117 or go to a Narcotics Anonymous meeting in their area. You are welcome to attend any of our Open NA Meetings, but we ask that you just listen and then get with someone after the meeting. You may also call us with any questions that you may have.
Many family members find the support they need in groups designed to help the families and loved ones of addicts (such as Nar-Anon and Families Anonymous). Narcotics Anonymous is not affiliated with these organizations, nor do we recommend one program over another. We simply provide this information in a spirit of cooperation.

About Narcotics Anonymous
Narcotics Anonymous is a global, community-based organization with a multi-lingual and multicultural membership. NA was founded in 1953, and our membership growth was minimal during our initial twenty years as an organization. Since the publication of our Basic Text in 1983, the number of members and meetings has increased dramatically. Today, NA members hold more than 70,000 meetings weekly in 144 countries with literature translated into 56 languages. We offer recovery from the effects of addiction through working a twelve-step program, including regular attendance at group meetings. The group atmosphere provides help from peers and offers an ongoing support network for addicts who wish to pursue and maintain a drug-free life.
Our name, Narcotics Anonymous, is not meant to imply a focus on any particular drug; NA’s approach makes no distinction between drugs, including alcohol. Membership is free, and we have no affiliation with any organizations outside of NA including governments, religions, law enforcement groups, or medical and psychiatric associations. Through all of our service efforts and our cooperation with others seeking to help addicts, we strive to reach a day when every addict in the world has an opportunity to experience our message of recovery in his or her own language and culture.
