You can be scared and still walk in.

If the night turns medical, call 911 when someone is overdosing, seizing, not breathing, or cannot be woken. If you might hurt yourself, call or text 988. Come back to a meeting when you are safe.

A room with a name

Just for Today, Sunday at 7 p.m., is at the New Town Alano Club, 3326 North Ashland. Moving on Group is listed Sunday at 10 a.m. at 2227 East 79th Street. Never Again is listed Monday at 11 a.m. at Sunlight of the Spirit, 1440 West 59th Street. North side, south side, and a midday meeting: pick the one you can reach while you still mean to go.

Suburban areas around Chicago sometimes keep a separate list even when the regional helpline answers first. If they hand you a different website, use it. The Ashland club is a city room.

The first hour

NA asks for a desire to stop using. That is the requirement. There are no dues. A basket may go around for rent and literature, and you can let it pass. When it is your turn you can say you are just listening. People use first names. What you hear stays in the room.

Our meeting finder searches public NA listings by day and ZIP. It is one more place to look. The local list is the one to trust when they disagree, and you should still confirm with the group.

Alcohol is a different door. The Chicago A.A. guide has that hotline and those rooms. Stay with the numbers above when the problem is drugs.

If you need more than a meeting

Some nights need a doctor before they need a church basement. Call 911 if breathing is failing. Call or text 988 if the crisis is in your head. SAMHSA's helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357) and FindTreatment.gov can point to care. (800) 653-9376 is our referral line for treatment, and it is free to you because providers pay for the referral. It is not an NA phoneline.

If you want a treatment referral, call or text (800) 653-9376. If you want a meeting in Chicago tonight, use the number or the list in the first section. In an emergency, call 911 or 988 first.

Common Questions

How do I find an NA meeting in Chicago tonight?

Call (708) 848-4884 or search meetings at chicagona.org. The region is large. Say the neighborhood, or the nearest L stop, so they do not send you across the city.

Is there a specific room in Chicago I can ask for?

Do I have to talk at my first NA meeting?

No. Listening is a complete way to attend. If a phone list comes around, it is optional. Leave when the meeting ends if that is all you can do.

What if I am in withdrawal or I might hurt myself?

Call 911 if you are overdosing, not breathing, or cannot be woken. Call or text 988 if you are in a mental health crisis. An NA meeting cannot manage a medical emergency. For treatment, call or text (800) 653-9376, and say you need a program.

Is the Chicago A.A. meeting list the same as NA?

No. A.A. and NA are different fellowships. The Chicago A.A. guide has the A.A. office and the A.A. meetings. For NA, use the local site and na.org's finder.
