Narcotics Anonymous in Brainard, Nebraska offers hope to addicts who may have tried other methods of getting clean without lasting success. NA's approach is different because it addresses addiction as a disease that affects every area of life, not just drug use.

Many members in Brainard will tell you that NA gave them the tools to not just stop using, but to actually enjoy life clean. Recovery through NA isn't about white-knuckling through each day; it's about discovering a new way of living.
