Alcoholics Anonymous & Narcotics Anonymous – West Virginia (Statewide, WV)
About AA & NA in West Virginia
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) maintain extensive networks of peer-led twelve-step recovery meetings throughout West Virginia. In a state profoundly affected by the opioid epidemic and substance use disorders, AA and NA provide free, accessible recovery support in communities across the Mountain State—from the Ohio Valley to the coalfields, from university towns to rural hollows. These fellowships offer hope and community for individuals seeking recovery.
What Groups Are Offered?
AA meetings address alcohol addiction through twelve-step peer support, while NA meetings serve individuals recovering from drug addiction of any kind. Meeting formats include open discussion, closed discussion, step study, speaker meetings, Big Book/literature study, and newcomer meetings. Meetings are available in Charleston, Huntington, Morgantown, Wheeling, Beckley, Parkersburg, and many smaller communities throughout the state.
Who Can Join?
AA requires only a desire to stop drinking; NA requires only a desire to stop using drugs. There are no other requirements. Open meetings welcome supportive guests, while closed meetings are for those who identify with the specific addiction. All ages and backgrounds are welcome.
Meeting Schedule & Location
Meetings are held daily at hundreds of locations across West Virginia. Meeting directories are available through local intergroups and area service committees. The Wheeling NA helpline provides meeting information for the northern panhandle area.
