EnglishHow to Contact OOPS Area Narcotics Anonymous for Help or Information
Updated
To reach OOPS Area Narcotics Anonymous, email [email protected] or write to P.O. Box 3214, Decatur, IL 62524. The site also lists a Help Line in its navigation menu. Email and mail suit general questions and requests for area information; the Help Line is the channel to try first if you are seeking help with a drug problem and want to speak with someone.

What Each Channel Is For
Email: [email protected]
The site directs readers to this address "for more information." Use it for questions about the OOPS Area itself, its meetings, and its events, or to ask where to find the meeting schedule. It is also the natural choice for anyone outside the Decatur area who found the site and wants to be pointed in the right direction.
Mail: P.O. Box 3214, Decatur, IL 62524
The post office box is the area's published mailing address. Choose it when you want a written record of your inquiry or when email is not practical for you. Expect the pace of postal mail rather than a same-day reply.
Help Line
The Help Line appears in the site's menu alongside Home, Links, NA World, GIRSCNA, Area Info., Events, Surrounding Events, and the meeting schedule. The site does not publish the Help Line number in its text, so open that menu item on oopsna.org to get the current number. This is the channel designed for someone who wants to talk with a person about their own situation or that of someone close to them.
Before You Reach Out
- If you want a meeting: the OOPS Area Meeting Schedule is published on the site, so check it first; it may answer your question faster than waiting for a reply.
- If you are looking for help with addiction: the Help Line is the most direct route. NA describes its program as recovery through working twelve steps and regular attendance at group meetings, with support from peers who are pursuing a drug-free lifestyle.
- If you are asking about NA beyond this area: the site links to NA World and GIRSCNA resources, which cover the wider organization.
What to Expect
NA states that membership is free and that it has no affiliation with governments, religions, law enforcement groups, or medical and psychiatric associations. That independence shapes how the area responds: it can share meeting information, event details, and general guidance about the program, but it is not a medical, legal, or government service and does not provide those kinds of referrals.
The site notes that NA today holds more than 63,000 meetings weekly in 132 countries, and that its approach makes no distinction between drugs, including alcohol. If your question is about a specific local meeting, the schedule page and the Help Line will be more useful than a general inquiry by mail.
