The effectiveness of Narcotics Anonymous in Bolingbrook, Illinois comes from a simple principle: one addict helping another. Unlike professional treatment, NA is built entirely on peer support from people who have personal experience with addiction and recovery.
The Twelve Steps of NA provide a roadmap for personal growth that has worked for millions of people. These steps address not just drug use, but the underlying attitudes, behaviors, and spiritual condition that fuel addiction.
Regular meeting attendance, working with a sponsor, and getting involved in service are the three pillars that most recovering addicts in Bolingbrook credit with keeping them clean. Together, these practices create a life worth living without drugs.

Can I attend NA if I am on medication-assisted treatment?
