Narcotics Anonymous

Narcotics Anonymous Northern Regional Service Committee e.V.

Narcotics Anonymous is a non-profit international fellowship of recovering addicts. The NA movement began in 1953 and is one of the oldest and largest of its kind.
More than 60,000 meetings take place every week in over 100 countries worldwide. In the German-speaking region, over 250 meetings can be attended weekly at various locations and times.
Narcotics Anonymous is a global fellowship of addicts for addicts, based on the 12-Step Program. In the meetings, members support each other in living drug-free. Participation is voluntary and free of charge. Anyone affected by addiction can attend the meetings at any time without prior registration. You do not need to be clean to participate.

Who is an NA member?

Anyone who wants to stop using drugs can become a member of Narcotics Anonymous. Membership is not limited to addicts who have used a specific drug.
In NA, everyone who thinks they might have a problem with drugs, legal or illegal, including alcohol, is welcome. Recovery in NA focuses on the problem of addiction, not on a particular drug.

anonymity

The principle of anonymity allows addicts to attend meetings without fear of legal or social repercussions. This is an important consideration for addicts thinking about attending a meeting for the first time.
Anonymity fosters an atmosphere of equality. It helps ensure that the personality or life circumstances of individual addicts are not considered more important than the message of recovery shared in NA.

NA meetings

NA's primary conception of recovery is the belief in the therapeutic value of addicts helping one another. Members discuss their experiences of addiction and recovery in meetings. NA meetings are informally structured, held in premises rented by the group, and led by rotating members on a volunteer basis. NA meetings and other services are sustained solely by member donations.
Financial contributions from non-members are not accepted. NA meetings are held at the same time and place each week, usually in a public facility. There are two fundamentally different types of meetings: those open to the general public and those for addicts only. The purpose of a meeting is always the same: to provide a suitable and reliable environment for personal recovery.
