New Orleans Area NA says to call or text (504) 899-6262. The site is noana.org. Acme Sunday Morning Meditation is listed at 10:30 a.m. at the Old Crescent Gym, 3101 Erato Street. You can text if talking feels like too much. Then go sit in the room.
You are allowed to be new. Most people in the room were new once.
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.
The phone, then the room
Call or text (504) 899-6262, or open noana.org. The area's mailing address on that page is P.O. Box 13801, New Orleans, LA 70185. The box is not where the meeting is.

Metairie and the Northshore have neighboring areas. A.A. for the city keeps its office in Metairie. That is a different fellowship. Use noana.org for NA.
You can just listen
You will not be interviewed. You will not be charged. A chairperson will open the meeting, someone may read a short piece of NA literature, and people share. If your mind is loud, listening is enough for one night.
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 New Orleans A.A. guide. The rooms named above are NA.
Doctors, crisis lines, and treatment
If the danger is medical, do not wait on a meeting. Call 911 for an overdose or trouble breathing. Call or text 988 if you might hurt yourself. NA can sit with you after you are safe. It cannot manage withdrawal. For a treatment referral, call or text (800) 653-9376. Say you want a program, so they do not send you back to the meeting list.
If you want a treatment referral, call or text (800) 653-9376. If you want a meeting in New Orleans 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. Sit near the door if you want. First names are enough. You do not sign in, and you do not have to explain what you used.
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 New Orleans A.A. meeting list the same as NA?
No. A.A. and NA are different fellowships. The New Orleans A.A. guide has the A.A. office and the A.A. meetings. For NA, use the local site and na.org's finder.
