“You shall attend Narcotics Anonymous twice a week,” Brown ordered, adding that the accused must provide proof of attendance at his next court appearance.
Narcotics Anonymous is a peer-led, 12-step recovery fellowship for people seeking to stop using drugs.
Neither Brown nor either attorney mentioned a secular recovery program during the hearing.
Even so, Brown’s order stated only that the accused “shall attend” Narcotics Anonymous, and proof of attendance was expressly tied to his continued pretrial release.
Until then, the accused must comply with the protective orders, drug restrictions, testing requirements and the twice-weekly Narcotics Anonymous attendance requirement.
