PHONE LINES (Westside Area)
Phone lines wants recovering addict to always be at the end of the phone when someone calls seeking help. We connect those seeking recovery with meetings and those seeking information about Narcotics Anonymous with the information.
The Westside Area of NA operates our own phone service software and have over 20 “time slots” to fill each month. Addicts in our area with over 6 months clean are encouraged to take a phone line commitment. Training is provided.
Introducing someone to NA is an easy way to give back what has been freely given to us.

HOSPITALS AND INSTITUTIONS (H&I)
Addicts institutionalized and unable to attend meetings often have their first experience with Narcotics Anonymous thanks to a panel from Hospitals and Institutions.
Recovering addicts carry the message into residential drug treatment centers, jails, mental institutions, and other facilities. Having an opportunity to bring hope to an addict still suffering and unable to go out to meetings is an amazing experience.
CLEAN TIME REQUIREMENTS TO BE OF SERVICE:
The H+I Subcommittee is also where we answer questions, provide orientation support, and communicate expectations before anyone commits; if a leader agrees and is voted in to take a panel, they’re usually given literature/format, etc., on the spot and will be added to our “WASC H+I Google Group.”
