FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About AA & NA Meetings

Do I have to be an alcoholic to attend an AA meeting?

For open AA meetings, anyone can attend, including family members, friends, and people who are simply curious. Closed meetings are intended for those who identify as alcoholics or think they may have a drinking problem.

What is the difference between AA and NA?

AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) focuses specifically on recovery from alcohol addiction. NA (Narcotics Anonymous) is open to anyone struggling with addiction to any substance — including opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines, and other drugs. Both are free, anonymous, and use the 12-Step program.

Are AA and NA meetings really free?

Yes. Both Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous charge no dues or fees for membership or attendance. Some groups pass a voluntary basket to cover room rental costs, but contributing is entirely optional.

How do I find an AA or NA meeting near me?

The easiest way is to call our 24/7 helpline at 1-888-708-7060. A specialist will help you locate in-person or online AA or NA meetings right away. No zip code search needed.

Is AA religious?

AA is spiritual, not religious. It references a "Higher Power" that each individual defines for themselves. AA welcomes people of all faiths, as well as atheists and agnostics. NA follows the same open spiritual approach.

What's the difference between AA/NA and rehab?

AA and NA are free peer-based support fellowships. Rehab is a clinical program with medical detox, therapy, and 24/7 supervision. Many people use both: rehab for initial stabilization and AA/NA for long-term community and maintenance.

Can I attend AA or NA meetings online?

Absolutely. Thousands of both AA and NA meetings happen online via Zoom and phone every single day. Online meetings are ideal for those in rural areas, homebound, or not yet ready to attend in person.
