About Narcotics Anonymous
Narcotics Anonymous is a global, community-based organization with a multi-lingual and multicultural membership. NA was founded in 1953, and membership growth was minimal during its first twenty years. Since the publication of our Basic Text in 1983, the number of members and meetings has increased dramatically.
As of 2024, NA members hold more than 72,215 meetings weekly—virtually and in person—in 143 countries. Members are welcomed with key tags in 64 languages. IP#1, “Who, What, How and Why?” provides essential information in 57 languages, and the Basic Text is available in 39 languages.
NA offers recovery through a twelve-step program, including regular attendance at group meetings. These meetings create a peer-based support network for addicts who seek to live drug-free. The name Narcotics Anonymous does not imply a focus on any particular drug; NA makes no distinction between substances, including alcohol. Membership is free, and NA is not affiliated with any outside organizations, including governments, religions, or medical groups.
Our goal is to ensure every addict has an opportunity to hear our message of recovery in their own language and culture.
