With addiction treatment a major service provided by its members, the National Association for Behavioral Health (NABH) Board established the NABH Addiction Treatment Committee. The committee provides a forum within the association for discussion and recommendation of action plans related to issues affecting addiction treatment providers and the patients they serve. The committee draws its membership from the entire spectrum of addiction treatment providers, including organizations that deliver hospital, residential, and outpatient levels of care within both large multi-facility systems and single-facility organizations.
The committee works to:
-
advocate for improved insurance coverage, patient access, and payment/reimbursement for addiction treatment services;
-
raise the importance and visibility of addiction treatment on the national agenda (as well as within the association) and works with members on state-level issues;
-
build coalitions in support of addiction treatment policy issues;
-
evaluate and foster understanding of how addiction treatment fits into broader healthcare reform;
-
inform members about and promote the integration of addiction and mental health treatment;
-
promote the integration of substance use treatment and mental health treatment in public policy, in regulation, and with payers;
-
foster networking on critical issues (such as clinical care, quality, administration, financing, accreditation, and more).
