Are any meetings near Lincoln Square wheelchair accessible?

5 of them are marked wheelchair accessible.

What if I can only stay half an hour?

Roughly an hour, and nobody is obliged to stay to the end of it. The listed time is when the meeting starts, not when the doors open. Pick one that starts at a time you can actually make, which is usually the deciding factor.

What is the NA program?

The steps are the written program of recovery the fellowship is built around. Attending a meeting does not require working any of them, and nobody will ask which step you are on. If you want to read them, the literature at any meeting has them in full.

Does it matter which meeting I go to?

The nearest one on a day you are free, which is usually the whole of the decision. A step meeting is usually not the easiest first visit, because it assumes some context. Try two or three over a couple of weeks before deciding anything.
