What Is the Difference Between Narcotics and Cocaine? Do They Fall Into the Same Category?

Question by : What is the difference between Narcotics and Cocaine? Do they fall into the same category?
For example, could a cocaine addict go to a narcotics anonymous meeting? Are narcotics all drugs, or just prescription? I am confused because in my town we have narcotics anonymous meetings as well as cocaine anonymous, but i have always assumed that cocaine fell into the category of narcotics. Is there a difference, and if so, what is it?

    “Narcotic” has no precise medical meaning. It has a very long definition under US federal law which generally means “illegal drugs”, including cocaine.

    For the purposes of twelve-step groups, narcotics means all drugs. Pills, weed, smack, coke, inhalants, whatever.
