About the ATTC Network

Who We Are

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 and people
becoming contributing members of society as quickly as possible.

ATTC’s no-cost services are aligned with national goals to reduce overdose fatalities, combat the opioid crisis, and are instrumental in strengthening the national infrastructure for combating addiction, ultimately saving taxpayer dollars, saving lives, and restoring the health and safety of all Americans.

By improving the care provided, ATTCs' contribute to reducing overdose deaths, emergency room visits, other costly health conditions, and the strain 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.
