Do I need to be completely drug-free to attend NA?
You do not need to be clean to attend your first NA meeting. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using drugs. Many people attend their first meeting while still using, and that is completely acceptable.
Can I attend NA if I am on medication-assisted treatment?
NA does not have an opinion on outside issues, including medication. Members who take medication prescribed by a doctor are welcome. However, NA defines "clean" as complete abstinence from all drugs, which individual members may interpret differently.
