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.
Can I attend NA while also seeing a therapist or counselor?
Yes. NA encourages members to use any resources that support their recovery. Many recovering addicts benefit from professional counseling in addition to the peer support found in NA meetings.
Is NA the same as AA?
NA and AA are separate fellowships. While both use a Twelve Step approach, NA focuses specifically on addiction to any and all drugs, while AA focuses on alcohol. NA uses the term "clean" to describe recovery from addiction. Both programs are effective and some people attend both.
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.
