Description

Since its founding in 1978, NAATP has stood at the forefront of the addiction treatment field, speaking with a clear and unified voice on behalf of its 300 member organizations. Those organizations consist of over 600 treatment facilities which set the standard for quality, caring therapeutic services for men and women, young and old, suffering from addictive diseases. NAATP has a long history of advocating for fair and equal legal recognition of the services its member organizations provide, with the same fair and equal reimbursement benefits for the patients served by its members.

The membership of NAATP covers a wide range of providers, non-profit and for profit; hospital based, residential, outpatient and extended care facilities; some that follow the time-tested 12 Step model and others that have modified that model. But one clear, unifying objective ties all the membership together—a strong commitment to giving addicted persons and those important to them a new chance at a sober, clean, productive life. NAATP is their voice, but our membership puts that voice into action.

Our membership is our most important resource! NAATP exists to serve the membership and provide value and service that they cannot achieve on an individual basis.  Therefore, NAATP seeks to develop alliances with other health care organizations so as to protect the integrity of addiction treatment.

Addiction treatment providers, as with other providers of health care, must be accountable for the services they provide. Therefore, NAATP and its members will engage in outcome and cost effectiveness studies, and subscribe to high ethical standards so as to be accountable for the financial resources invested in addiction treatment.
