Exploring Narcotics Anonymous
Do I have a drug problem?
If that question brought you here, NA’s Am I an Addict? pamphlet offers questions for private reflection. You can read it in full on the NA World Services website.
A place to consider the question
Am I an Addict?, also called IP #7, is an informational pamphlet published by NA World Services. It contains 29 questions about drug use and its effects, followed by further reading within the pamphlet.
The pamphlet does not provide a numerical scoring system. This page does not diagnose you or decide whether you are an addict. It connects you with NA’s own material and ways to learn about the fellowship.

Call (888) 476-2482Can I attend while I’m unsure?
Yes. NA meetings welcome people who think they may have a drug problem. You do not need a result from a questionnaire on this site.
The schedule distinguishes open and closed meetings. “Closed” includes people who think they may have a drug problem; “open” also welcomes other visitors. The label does not mean a meeting has been canceled.
How do I choose a first meeting?
Start with a time and location you can attend. Read the full listing for its venue type, entry instructions and format notes. The meeting-listing guide walks through those fields.
Where can I learn what happens at a meeting?
Open NA’s An Introduction to NA Meetings. It explains common meeting customs and terms. For local planning, see before your first meeting.
What if I have a medical question?
NA offers peer support. A healthcare professional is the appropriate contact for medical questions. NA’s In Times of Illness explains the fellowship’s perspective on illness and recovery; it is not medical advice.
Looking for someone you care about?
If you plan to accompany someone to NA and do not have a drug problem yourself, look for an open meeting. Check the individual listing’s access notes before going.
NA World Services publishes information about the fellowship for the wider community. It can help you understand what NA offers and how its meetings fit within that role.
