Abstract The non-professional self-help group Narcotics Anonymous (NA) has a significant presence in the field of recovery. The NA group cultivates a positive social identity that supports recovery norms and attitudes, strengthens the social support system, and supports members' sobriety, holistic wellbeing, and psychological wellbeing. The present study sets out to determine whether NA social identity fosters social support, and whether doing so fosters improved psychological well-being and rehabilitation prospects. Additionally, the goal is to better understand NA and conduct study on the significance of social elements in recovery. The sample included 58 NA members who had been active for at least three months (70.69% men, 29.31% women). The social identification scale, recovering addict identity, Leeds dependence questionnaire, wellbeing questionnaire, and important people drug and alcohol were all filled out by participants. The findings show that the NA social identity is associated with greater psychological wellness and less drug abuse. Additionally, higher general support, which predicts lesser drug abuse, is associated with higher NA social identity. Moreover, the higher social identity NA predicts a lower involvement of significant others with substances, involvement predicts a higher drug abuse rate. There were no further mediations, according to the findings. The research contributes to highlighting the importance of participation in NA groups, of changing of social identity and social network, but also the need for professional programs to be interconnected with NA. However, more research would help us comprehend how NA functions and how NA social identity develops in Greece.
