Is NA the same as AA?

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.
