About this meeting
Every Saturday at midday, Narcotics Anonymous meets at The ARC (Abstinence & Recovery Centre) on Robert Street in Cheetham, Salford — the venue sits behind Strangeways prison, which makes it easy to find once you know the landmark. The meeting runs for an hour and a half in the Meeting Room, with a format built around newcomers. The first Saturday of each month is a main share meeting; the following weeks are literature-based, working through the Basic Text. It's a members-only meeting for anyone with a desire to stop using drugs, so if you're thinking about NA or coming back, you'll find people who understand. The venue has step-free wheelchair access. Turn up a few minutes early to settle in.
Common questions
Who can come to this meeting?
This is a closed (members-only) meeting, which means it's for people who have a desire to stop using drugs. You don't need to prove anything or have any clean time — if that describes you, you're welcome. It's also newcomer-friendly, so first-timers are especially looked after.
Do I need to book or pay?
No. NA meetings are free to attend and there's no booking. NA is self-supporting through members' own contributions, so a small voluntary donation may be passed round, but nobody is expected to give and newcomers never pay.
Is the venue accessible and easy to find?
The ARC has step-free wheelchair access. It's located at 31 Robert Street in Cheetham, behind Strangeways prison, which is the handiest landmark to steer by. The meeting is held in the Meeting Room.
