What Is the Upper Midwest Region of Narcotics Anonymous Website?

Updated

umrna.org is the regional information site for the Upper Midwest Region of Narcotics Anonymous (NA), a service body that covers two local areas: the Lake Agassiz Area and the Lewis & Clark Area. If you are looking for NA meetings, schedule changes, or regional announcements in the upper Midwest, this site is the starting point. It is an informational and service page, not a treatment provider or a paid program.

What the site represents

The site identifies itself as the Upper Midwest Region of Narcotics Anonymous, with the tagline "Never Alone, Never Again." It functions as a regional hub that connects the two member areas and points visitors toward meeting information and regional news.

NA itself is a fellowship, and this site is one region's administrative and informational presence rather than a single meeting group.

The two areas it covers

The region is made up of two areas, each with its own set of meeting locations.

Lake Agassiz Area

Meetings listed for this area are in:

  • Breckenridge
  • Cando
  • Crookston
  • Fargo
  • Grafton
  • Grand Forks
  • Moorhead
  • Roseau
  • Thief River Falls
  • Warroad

Lewis & Clark Area

Meetings listed for this area are in:

  • Bismarck
  • Beulah
  • Dickinson
  • Jamestown
  • Mandan
  • Mandaree
  • Minot
  • Rolla
  • Rugby
  • Watford City
  • Whiteshield
  • Williston

If you are searching for a meeting near any of these towns, this site is the correct regional entry point.

What you can find on the site

The site is built around current, practical information rather than general descriptions of addiction. Key content includes:

  • Meeting and event changes — for example, the site notes that the Key to Freedom meeting in Bismarck has returned to a hybrid meeting style with an updated monthly format, with a link for more details.
  • Regional announcements — such as the NA World Service Conference 2025 Report.
  • Daily reading material — the site surfaces "Just for Today," a daily reflection used across NA.

Because meeting formats and locations change, the "Meeting/Event Changes" section is worth checking before you travel to a specific meeting, especially for hybrid or recently updated formats.

How to use it

  1. Identify which area your city falls under using the two lists above.
  2. Go to the meeting information for that area to find times and locations.
  3. Check the meeting/event changes section first if you are heading to a specific meeting, since formats such as hybrid or monthly schedules may have been updated.
  4. Use the regional announcements for wider service news if you are involved in regional service work.

What the site is not

The site does not present pricing, membership fees, or payment options, and nothing on it should be read as offering medical, legal, or treatment advice. It is a fellowship information page: its purpose is to help people find meetings and stay current on regional NA activity.
