Comprehensive, high-quality addiction treatment services are too often undermined by payer and governmental policies that fail to provide the resources required to achieve essential outcomes. If left uncorrected, many NACATS members have no choice but to reduce services or close clinics, limiting critical access to care when overdoses continue to claim more than 100,00 lives each year in the U.S.

universally recognized metrics for measuring the quality and effectiveness of addiction treatment, centered on transparency and accountability for patient outcomes.
ESTABLISH
