I don't think there is that drastic of a difference between the two. Addicts and alcoholics share a compulsion to use an addicting substance and the treatment, per se, is very similar. I've never been to an AA meeting where an addict wasn't welcome and visa versa, many people that go to these meeting are cross addicted. While NA and AA use practically the same 12 step program, some of the wording is different to suit each particular addiction.
