Houston Area NA answers (713) 661-4200 in English and Spanish, and the area site also lists a regional Spanish line at 888-600-6229. The Sooner the Better is listed Sunday at 6 p.m. at 401 Branard Street. You can be exhausted and still take a chair. Listening is enough.
If you have been using and you are ashamed of it, that is a reason the room exists.
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.
Start here
Call (713) 661-4200 or open hascona.com. Houston is huge. Say the neighborhood, or the nearest freeway, so they do not send you an hour across town.
A place you can find
The Sooner the Better, Sunday at 6 p.m., is at Montrose Counseling Center, 401 Branard Street. Alive and Kicking is listed Sunday at 3 p.m. at 4925 Griggs Road, Suite A. Just A Meeting is listed Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at the Gulf Coast Club, 14540 Minetta. Branard is the close-in option if you are inside the Loop.
The Spanish regional line, 888-600-6229, is printed on the Houston area homepage next to the local helpline. Use it if you want the meeting in Spanish.
Walking in
Walk in a few minutes early if you can. Someone may say hello. You can say you are new and you want to listen. Closed meetings are for people who want to stop using. Open meetings welcome a family member who is there to listen. If you are unsure, ask the helpline which one fits tonight.
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 Houston A.A. guide has that hotline and those rooms. Stay with the numbers above when the problem is drugs.
If the night is dangerous
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 Houston 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 Houston tonight?
Call (713) 661-4200 or open hascona.com. Houston is huge. Say the neighborhood, or the nearest freeway, so they do not send you an hour across town.
Is there a specific room in Houston I can ask for?
The Sooner the Better, Sunday at 6 p.m., is at Montrose Counseling Center, 401 Branard Street. Alive and Kicking is listed Sunday at 3 p.m. at 4925 Griggs Road, Suite A. Just A Meeting is listed Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at the Gulf Coast Club, 14540 Minetta. Branard is the close-in option if you are inside the Loop.
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 Houston A.A. meeting list the same as NA?
No. A.A. and NA are different fellowships. The Houston A.A. guide has the A.A. office and the A.A. meetings. For NA, use the local site and na.org's finder.
