Narcotics Anonymous – Richmond Virginia Area (Richmond, VA)
About Narcotics Anonymous – Richmond Virginia Area
The Richmond Virginia Area of Narcotics Anonymous (RVANA) coordinates NA meetings throughout the greater Richmond region for individuals seeking recovery from drug addiction. NA is a peer-led twelve-step fellowship where members support one another in achieving and maintaining a drug-free life. RVANA provides meeting schedules, helpline services, and community outreach to connect people with recovery resources.
What Groups Are Offered?
RVANA hosts dozens of weekly meetings in formats including open discussion, step study, speaker meetings, literature study, and newcomer-focused sessions. Meetings are available throughout the week at various times. The fellowship welcomes individuals regardless of which specific substance they used—NA’s program addresses addiction as a disease rather than focusing on any particular drug.
Who Can Join?
The only requirement for NA membership is a desire to stop using drugs. There are no age, background, or substance-specific requirements. Open meetings welcome supportive guests, while closed meetings are for those who identify as addicts.
Meeting Schedule & Location
Meetings are held daily at churches, community centers, and recovery facilities throughout the Richmond metropolitan area. A complete meeting schedule with addresses and times is available on the RVANA website.

What to Expect
NA meetings provide a supportive, anonymous atmosphere where members share their experience with addiction and recovery. Meetings typically last about one hour. Newcomers are welcomed warmly and there is no pressure to speak. The atmosphere is non-judgmental and focused on recovery through mutual support.
Cost & Confidentiality
All NA meetings are free. A voluntary collection helps cover room rental and literature costs, with no obligation to contribute. Anonymity is a core principle—members use first names only and everything shared in meetings remains confidential.
