NA Meetings & Resources in Dubuque: Finding Support, Hope, and the Freedom to Live Clean
If you’re living in Dubuque, Iowa, and battling a drug problem, the journey to healing can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you’re struggling with opioids, stimulants, or other drugs, Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and local treatment programs like Madison Recovery Center can help you find hope, freedom, and a new way to live.
NA is a fellowship built by addicts for addicts—people who truly understand what you’re going through. And at Madison Recovery Center, we offer structured treatment programs that complement the peer support of NA meetings by addressing the deeper emotional, psychological, and behavioral patterns that fuel addiction.
If you’re ready to make a change—today—there’s a group, a community, and a path to recovery waiting for you.

What to Expect at an NA Meeting
At its heart, Narcotics Anonymous is about connection, participation, and shared experience. Meetings are based on NA’s 12-step principles and literature, including the Basic Text, which is filled with personal stories and guiding messages of hope.
In a typical meeting, you’ll find:
A welcoming, judgment-free space
Members sharing stories and offering support
An emphasis on open mindedness, willingness, and spiritual growth
A belief in the guidance of a higher power, however you choose to define it
You’re never required to talk, but you’re always welcome to share. You’ll learn from others, and over time, you’ll have the chance to carry your message of recovery to someone else who needs to hear it.
When You Need More Than Meetings: How MRC Can Help
While NA meetings offer incredible peer support, some people also need clinical help to address the deeper layers of addiction—trauma, co-occurring mental health issues, or patterns that just won’t break on their own. That’s where Madison Recovery Center comes in.
