  • A Comprehensive Approach 
  • Integrating Substance Use Care

We advocate for evidence-based methodologies and emerging best practices.

The National Council champions the use of proven methodologies and innovative approaches to strengthen the continuum of substance use services. By providing tools, guidance and opportunities to learn from best practices, we help organizations and communities improve outcomes and deliver person-centered care.
