NA regularly hosts conventions large and small—these are one- to multi-day gatherings, celebrations, and similar events where members meet regionally and nationally and share about recovery. The meetings are often loosened up with a clean disco, barbecues or workshops.
As a rule, our events are also open to interested guests, specialists and relatives. This is also a great opportunity for addicts in treatment facilities to learn about NA. Contact us!
