Information for professionals
To request any inquiries or other information, please contact the Public Relations Subcommittee
This part of the site is for people who are not addicts themselves, but who are in contact with addicts: family members; therapeutic community; and professionals in health care, criminal justice, education, police, social services, media and government. We are not affiliated with any outside organizations or third parties, but we are eager to collaborate with all groups to convey the message that recovery is possible in Narcotics Anonymous. Narcotics Anonymous is a non-profit fellowship or community made up of men and women for whom drugs have become a major problem. We are recovering addicts and we get together regularly to help each other stay clean.
