Help can be just one call away.
Purpose: To establish, maintain, and coordinate an effective 24-hour, 7 days a week answering service. Through this service, we form a link between Narcotics Anonymous and the general public seeking help and/or information. The subcommittee will also provide the appropriate referrals in accordance with our 6th tradition: "An NA group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the NA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, or prestige divert us from our primary purpose." Additionally, the subcommittee will be responsible for updating and maintaining printed, phoneline, and website meeting schedules.Public Information is informing the public about recovery from addiction through the 12 Steps and the 12 Traditions of Narcotics Anonymous. The purpose of the PI subcommittee is to inform the public that NA exists and offer recovery from the disease of addiction.

How the Louisville Area Public Relations subcommittee works
A person wanting help or information calls the Phoneline (502) 499-4423. This number reaches our automated answering service. The person calling has the option of either listening to a recorded list of NA meetings in the Louisville Area or leaving a voice message and have their call returned by a Phoneline volunteer. In the latter case, the caller leaves their name and number on the system; the system then pages the first volunteer in the pager rotation. If that volunteer does not respond in minutes, the next volunteer in the pager rotation is paged-and so on until a volunteer retrieves the message. The volunteer returns the call or asks a 12 Step volunteer to return the call if they are unable. The call is returned using the 12 Step process as outlined in our guidelines.
