What Is Twin City Area Narcotics Anonymous (tcana.org)?

Updated

tcana.org is the local website of Twin City Area Narcotics Anonymous (NA), a regional service body of the Narcotics Anonymous fellowship. It serves people in a defined group of communities in North Carolina and exists to inform both the public and the fellowship about NA in that area. Its central message is that "an addict, any addict, can stop using drugs, lose the desire to use, and find a new way to live."

The site is useful if you are wondering whether NA is for you, looking for a local meeting, or trying to understand what NA does and does not provide.

Who the site serves

Twin City Area NA covers these communities in North Carolina:

  • Advance
  • Clemmons
  • Dobson
  • King
  • Lewisville
  • Lexington
  • Mocksville
  • Mount Airy
  • Pilot Mountain
  • Winston-Salem

If you live in or near one of these areas, the meeting and contact information on the site applies to you.

What it offers

Information for anyone asking "Is NA for me?"

The site frames recovery as a personal question each potential member answers for themselves. It points to introductory NA literature, starting with pamphlets such as "Am I an addict?" and "Welcome to NA," as a way to explore that question. The stated position is simple: if you're an addict, NA can help, and you're invited to a local meeting to find out how.

A way to find local meetings

The site provides a Find a Meeting path so visitors can locate NA meetings in the covered communities. This is the main practical action for someone considering attendance.

Contact and event information

There is a Contact Us option and an Upcoming Events section, so visitors can reach the area body or see what is happening locally.

Recovery literature

Narcotics Anonymous World Services publishes a selection of NA recovery literature online, and the site directs those wanting to learn more to read it.

What NA does not provide

This distinction matters if you are looking for treatment rather than a fellowship. According to the site, Narcotics Anonymous:

  • Does provide help in the form of personal recovery.
  • Does not provide intervention, detoxification, or rehabilitation services.
  • Does not provide medical opinions or counseling.

If you need medical attention, the site strongly urges you to seek treatment from trained medical professionals in a clinical setting.

How to use the site

  1. Start with the question. Ask yourself whether NA is for you, and read introductory pamphlets like "Am I an addict?" and "Welcome to NA" if that helps.
  2. Find a meeting. Use the Find a Meeting resource to locate a local meeting in the Twin City Area.
  3. Attend and see. The site's invitation is to join a local meeting and find out how NA works.
  4. Reach out if needed. Use Contact Us for questions, and check Upcoming Events for local activity.
  5. Go deeper with literature. Read the NA recovery literature published online by NA World Services.
