About Nar-Anon 

What is Nar-Anon?

Nar-Anon members are relatives and friends who are concerned about the addiction or drug problem of another.  Nar-Anon’s program of recovery is adapted from Narcotics Anonymous and uses Nar-Anon's Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions, and Twelve Concepts.  

What is a Nar-Anon Family Group?

The Nar-Anon Family Group is for those who know or have known a feeling of desperation due to the addiction problem of someone close to them.  Nar-Anon members share their experiences, strength, and hope at weekly meetings.  The meetings are usually held at locations such as treatment centers, hospitals, churches, community centers or local Twelve-Step groups. 

How Do I Join Nar-Anon?

Joining is easy; just attend a meeting. There are no dues or fees. Each group is self supporting and collects donations that are used for local expenses such as room rent and supplies. The only requirement for membership is that there is a problem of addiction in a relative or friend. Nar-Anon is not affiliated with any other organization or outside entity. 

Is Literature Available?

Nar-Anon publications are based upon the

shared experience of our membership and their application of Nar-Anon's principles to their lives.

Is Professional Help Available?

Nar-Anon is a non-professional fellowship whose members share their experience, strength and hope to solve their common problems.  We have learned to avoid standing in the way of the addict's recovery.  Nar-Anon is not a replacement for and does not provide professional treatment.  Nar-Anon does cooperate with Narcotics Anonymous recovery programs, and other organizations, but does not affiliate with or recommend them.
