Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) are groups of people who understand the struggle of addiction, and together are fighting their individual battles with the support of others. You have the opportunity to choose a closed meeting, which is restricted to only people who are suffering from addiction. An open meeting is for those suffering from addiction as well as family members, friends, or other support systems. It may feel uncomfortable to go to a meeting for the first time, so it is recommended that you go with someone you trust to an open meeting first, before attending a closed meeting on your own.
