EnglishWhat Is the Free State Region of Narcotics Anonymous Website?
Updated
freestatena.org is the regional service website for the Free State Region of Narcotics Anonymous (NA), covering areas in Maryland and Delaware. Its main purpose is practical: helping people find NA meetings, learn what NA is, and connect with regional service and events. It serves people who think they may have a drug problem, newcomers to NA, current members looking for service opportunities, and professionals who work with people in recovery.
What the site is
The Free State Region is part of Narcotics Anonymous, described on the site as a nonprofit fellowship of addicts who help each other stay clean and live life without the use of drugs. The regional site acts as a hub for that fellowship in Maryland and Delaware, listing both live and online meetings across several areas.
The site states its message plainly: any addict can stop using drugs, lose the desire to use, and find a new way to live.
What you can do on the site
Find a meeting
The site offers several ways to locate meetings:
- All Free State meetings — a full list, including meetings marked temporarily closed, online, or live
- Online meetings — for people who want to attend remotely
- Live and hybrid meetings — in-person and combined formats
- Search by map — a geographic way to find meetings near you
- Print regional meeting list — a printable version
- Browse meetings by area — at https://freestatena.org/all-meetings
If a meeting listing is wrong or has changed, there is a meeting update request form at https://freestatena.org/meeting-update, plus a separate form to change, add, or delete a meeting.
Get help or learn about NA
If you think you might have a drug problem, the site directs you to call the Helpline at 1-800-317-3222 or attend a meeting. A "New to NA" section explains that NA meetings are gatherings of recovering addicts who meet regularly for the purpose of recovery from the disease of addiction.
For members
Members can find information about events within the region, regional service, the Regional Service center, and links to the areas.
For professionals
The site notes that NA values building relationships with people in government, correctional institutions, the clergy, the helping professions, and private voluntary organizations.
Regional service opportunities
The site lists volunteer roles and how to get involved:
| Opportunity | Requirement / how to volunteer |
|---|---|
| Website Coordinator | Four years clean |
| Phoneline Administrator | Two years clean |
| Regional subcommittee volunteer | Attend a Regional Subcommittee Meeting |
| Area-level service | Volunteer in an area within the Free State Region |
To express interest in a position, the site says to send an email and go to the next meeting. There are also links to sign up to volunteer with NA World Services, NA World Services webinars, and the NA Projects page.
Other resources on the site
- Newsletter — the site promotes a regional NA newsletter, described as the longest-running NA newsletter in NA history, with a downloadable edition
- Events — information on events within the region and service
- Regional convention — information about the Free State Regional Convention
- Meeting lists — downloadable and printable formats
When this site is useful to you
Use freestatena.org if you are in Maryland or Delaware and want to find an NA meeting, whether online, in person, or hybrid. It is also the right starting point if you are new to NA, looking for the regional helpline, seeking service positions, or a professional wanting to understand how NA works with outside organizations. If you are outside the Free State Region, the meeting lists here will not cover your area, though the general information about NA still applies.
