History of the ATTC Network

Celebrating Fifteen Years of serving the field!

Celebrating 15 YearsSince 1993 the ATTC Network has translated the latest research in addictions treatment and recovery services, and disseminated that research to the field using a comprehensive array of technology transfer strategies. We have strengthened the workforce and advanced systems change to promote effective services that lead to long-term recovery.

Today, the ATTC vision remains as far-reaching and well-focused as it was at the outset – to unify science, education and services to transform the lives of all persons impacted by substance use disorders.
