NA Information For Professionals
Narcotics Anonymous is a global, community-based organization with a multi-lingual and multicultural membership. NA was founded in 1953, and our membership growth was minimal during our initial twenty years as an organization. Since the publication of our Basic Text in 1983, the number of members and meetings has increased dramatically. Today, NA members hold more than 58,000 meetings weekly in 131 countries. Narcotics Anonymous books and information pamphlets are currently available in 39 languages, with translations in process for 16 languages.
We offer recovery from the effects of addiction through working a twelve-step program, including regular attendance at group meetings. The group atmosphere provides help from peers and offers an ongoing support network for addicts who wish to pursue and maintain a drug-free lifestyle.
Our name, Narcotics Anonymous, is not meant to imply a focus on any particular drug; NA’s approach makes no distinction between drugs including alcohol. Membership is free, and we have no affiliation with any organizations outside of NA including governments, religions, law enforcement groups, or medical and psychiatric associations. Through all of our service efforts and our cooperation with others seeking to help addicts, we strive to reach a day when every addict in the world has an opportunity to experience our message of recovery in his or her own language and culture.

Public Relations Goals
- We clarify what services NA can and cannot provide to the community.
- We make NA members more aware of their role in NA’s public image.
- We aim for the public to recognize NA as a positive and reliable organization.
- We develop valuable relationships with professionals and the general public.
- To be of maximum service to the still suffering addict, we must energetically seek to carry our message throughout our cities, towns, and villages. For no addict need ever die from the horrors of addiction, but find hope and recovery in the rooms of NA.
