Do you know what the Narcotics Anonymous is?


Narcotics Anonymous is a worldwide organization that was established to help drug addicts to recover. This organization started in the U.S as a small movement, and then it became one of the largest organizations to help addicted people. At the beginning, the organization grew very slowly because it was not well known. Now, NA is well established in most of the countries in Western Europe, Australia, and Middle East. In order for the NA to be able to reach most of the addicts, it makes the organization books and pamphlets available in 34 languages.
Going deeper into the “NA”, it is non-profitable organization for drug addicts and “NA” as a whole has no opinion on outside issues, including prescribed medications. There are no restrictions in the membership about gender, age, religion, and social class; also, it’s for free. The “NA” mission is to provide an environment in which addicts can help one another to recover and to find a new way to live by sharing their own experiences. Finally, it is worth mention that the “NA” is self-supporting and it is not accepting any financial support or charity.
