An Intro
Narcotics Anonymous is a nonprofit, worldwide fellowship of people for whom drugs have become a serious problem. We are recovering addicts who meet regularly to help each other stay clean and support one another on the journey of recovery.
NA is not affiliated with any political, religious, or medical organization. We have no opinions on outside issues, and we welcome anyone who wants to stop using — regardless of the substance, background, identity, or personal circumstances.
“Narcotics Anonymous is a nonprofit, international, community-based organization for recovering addicts, which is active in over 122 countries. Narcotics Anonymous (NA) members learn from one another how to live drug-free and recover from the effects of addiction in their lives.”

What NA is not
To keep our fellowship focused and safe for everyone, it helps to be clear about what NA does not do:
- We are not a treatment center or detox facility.
- We do not provide professional counseling or therapy.
- We do not track attendance, diagnose anyone, or report to courts.
- We do not have opinions on outside issues or political matters.
We simply share our experience, strength, and hope so we can recover together.
Our purpose
We have one primary purpose:
to carry the message to the addict who still suffers.
