The National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP)
The NAATP 2008 Annual Addiction Treatment Leadership Conference is currently being held at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort in Indian Wells May 18-21, 2008.
"The National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers shall be the organization that enables addiction treatment providers to grow and thrive in a changing healthcare and political environment."--NAATP Vision Statement.
As we look into the 21st century the demand for a coherent unified voice from the addiction health care advocates remain. Addiction is a health issue, sharing more in common with chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and asthma, yet the majority of patients remain untreated and undertreated.
NAATP is the organization which draws from the various addiction disciplines to create a single voice in the arena of addiction. With proper research, education, and public policy we can help to change the landscape from one of shame and blame to one of healing, treatment, hope and understanding.
