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.

There is no requirement for how often you attend. However, many recovering addicts recommend attending 90 meetings in 90 days when starting out. Regular attendance helps build connections and reinforces your commitment to recovery.
