The Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTCs) play a critical role in advancing our nation's health by equipping healthcare professionals and community organizations with effective tools to address individuals, children, and families impacted by alcohol and drug use. We build local capacity of the behavioral health workforce resulting in treatment that leads to long-term recovery. ATTCs' no-cost services are aligned with national goals to reduce overdose fatalities and combat the opioid crisis while decreasing the burden on criminal justice and social service systems. Training treatment and recovery providers nationwide saves billions in taxpayer dollars, while also fostering safer and healthier communities.
