Central Ohio NA answers (614) 252-1700. The meeting list is at nacentralohio.org. Together We Can is listed Sunday at 11 a.m. at Lighthouse Peer Center East, 4177 East Broad Street. You can show up messy. The hour is for people who want to stop using, and listening counts.
A rough night does not have to be a night you spend alone with it.
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.
Tonight
Call (614) 252-1700 or open nacentralohio.org. The same number is printed as the Central Ohio Hope Line on the Greater Cincinnati area's contact page. Use it for Columbus and the towns this area actually serves.
A room with a name
Together We Can, Sunday at 11 a.m., is at Lighthouse Peer Center East, 4177 East Broad Street. Hearts 1 is listed Sunday at 7 p.m. at New Life Methodist Church, 33-35 West 5th Avenue. U Grow Girl is listed Sunday at 5 p.m. at the Just For Today Club, 1008 East Livingston Avenue. East Broad is an easy landmark if you are already on the bus that runs that street.
Columbus, Indiana, and Columbus, Georgia, are not this list. If your ZIP is not central Ohio, say the state when you call.
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 Columbus 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
A meeting is people helping each other. It is not a detox and it is not a hospital. NIDA describes mutual-help groups as peer-led, not care run by clinicians. If someone is overdosing, not breathing, or cannot be woken, call 911. If you are in a mental health crisis, call or text 988. If you need a treatment bed rather than a room tonight, call or text (800) 653-9376. That line is SmarterRecovery, not the NA helpline.
If you want a treatment referral, call or text (800) 653-9376. If you want a meeting in Columbus tonight, use the number or the list in the first section. In an emergency, call 911 or 988 first.

Do I have to talk at my first NA meeting?
No. You can say you are just listening. NA's requirement is a desire to stop using. There are no dues. A basket may pass for rent and literature, and you can let it go by.
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 Columbus A.A. meeting list the same as NA?
No. A.A. and NA are different fellowships. The Columbus A.A. guide has the A.A. office and the A.A. meetings. For NA, use the local site and na.org's finder.
