The minimum requirements are 1 year of continuous clean time AND completion of all 12 steps with a sponsor. Please see the Standing Committees or Events page for information on our monthly PI&O Committee meetings on Zoom.

Hospitals & Institutions
The NorCal CMA H&I committee has been flooded with requests from facilities to host CMA meetings in their facilities. We have a waiting list for locations in San Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose, and Santa Cruz but we need a minimum of four volunteers per facility before we can add a new facility to the schedule.
Many times, an H&I meeting is the first introduction to Crystal Meth Anonymous that many inmates, clients, or patients receive. Therefore, it is important that the message of recovery through the Twelve Steps be informative, clear, concise, positive, and solution oriented.
