Greater Los Angeles NA's helpline sheet lists (559) 255-5881 for Fresno. Call that number and ask what is meeting tonight. Write down the group and the street. If you would rather look it up, use NA's finder. You do not have to walk in already knowing the words.
Nobody is going to make you tell your story tonight.
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.
Who to call
Call (559) 255-5881. The number is on the helpline list at greaterlosangelesna.org/helplines, in the row for Fresno. The Central California region site is ccrna.net. If the person who answers gives you a different local site, use that site for the room.
Where to sit
Ask the person on (559) 255-5881 for the next meeting's name and address, and write them down. That call is the way in tonight.
Porterville and the Kings-Tulare area have different numbers on that same helpline sheet. If you are not in Fresno, read the row for your town instead of using 559-255-5881 out of habit.
What the hour is like
The first meeting is usually an hour of people talking about what it was like and what they are doing now. You can sit near the back. You do not sign in. If someone offers a phone list, it is optional. The only requirement NA talks about is a desire to stop using.
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.
If what you need to say is about drinking, open the Fresno A.A. guide. The rooms named above are NA.
When a meeting is not enough
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 Fresno 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. 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.

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