What is the Narcotics Anonymous program?

Narcotics Anonymous is an international, non-profit community-based organization of recovering drug addicts with more than 50,000 weekly meetings in over 127 countries.

Narcotics Anonymous sprang from another 12 Step Program in the late 1940s, with meetings first emerging in the Los Angeles area of California, USA, in the early fifties. The NA program started as a small US movement that today has grown into one of the world's oldest and largest organizations of its type. For many years, the society grew very slowly, spreading from Los Angeles to other major North American cities and Australia in the early 1970s. In 1983, Narcotics Anonymous published its self-titled Basic Text, which contributed to tremendous growth, with groups forming rapidly in Brazil, Colombia, Germany, India, the Irish Republic, Japan, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

Today, Narcotics Anonymous is well established throughout much of the Americas, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, with newly formed groups and NA communities scattered through the Indian subcontinent, Africa, East Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. Narcotics Anonymous books and information pamphlets are currently available in 34 languages, with translations in process for 16 languages.

"It doesn't matter what or how much we used. In Narcotics Anonymous staying clean has to come first. We realized that we cannot use drugs and live. When we admit our powerlessness and our inability to manage our own lives we open the doors to recovery."
