H&I meetings can carry the NA message of recovery to addicts who do not have full access to regular Narcotics Anonymous meetings. H&I is an important service in our public relations efforts in NA. One of our PR goals is to inform the public and the potential member about our program. When addicts seeking recovery know who we are and where to find our meetings, this means our efforts have been successful. H&I meetings and presentations, except for those in longterm facilities, are intended to introduce those attending to some of the basics of the NA program.

Narcotics Anonymous is a global, community-based organization with a multi-lingual
and multicultural membership. NA was founded in 1953, and our membership
growth was minimal during our initial twenty years as an organization. Since the
publication of our Basic Text in 1983, the number of members and meetings has
increased dramatically. Today*, NA members hold more than 58,000 meetings weekly
in 131 countries. We offer recovery from the effects of addiction through working
a twelve-step program, including regular attendance at group meetings. The group
atmosphere provides help from peers and offers an ongoing support network for
addicts who wish to pursue and maintain a drug-free lifestyle.
Our name, Narcotics Anonymous, is not meant to imply a focus on any particular drug;
NA’s approach makes no distinction between drugs including alcohol. Membership
is free, and we have no affiliation with any organizations outside of NA including
governments, religions, law enforcement groups, or medical and psychiatric associations.
Through all of our service efforts and our cooperation with others seeking to help
addicts, we strive to reach a day when every addict in the world has an opportunity to
experience our message of recovery in his or her own language and culture.
*As of May 2010.

Literature provides a service to local groups and individuals needing Narcotics Anonymous items, such as books, pamphlets, and medallions.
