What Is the Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC) Network?

Since 1993, the ATTC Network has worked to unify science, education and services to transform the lives of individuals and families affected by alcohol and other drug addiction.

Funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Network is charged with upgrading the skills of existing treatment practitioners and other health professionals, and disseminating the latest science to the treatment community.

Serving the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Pacific Islands, the ATTC Network operates as 14 individual Regional Centers and a National Office. Together the Network takes a unified approach in delivering cutting-edge information and resources to develop a powerful workforce, which is equipped to transform lives.

There are literally hundreds of Web sites on the Internet relating to substance abuse prevention and treatment. From current research and treatment modalities, to online support groups and continuing education, there are numerous tools to aid treatment professionals.
