The American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence (AATOD) is a non-profit organization founded in 1984 with the aim of improving patient care in opioid treatment programs (OTPs) across the United States. Representing over 1,300 OTPs and having twenty-eight state chapters, AATOD is dedicated to promoting the growth and development of comprehensive opioid treatment services. They are also a founding partner of the World Federation for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence, which represents an additional 600 treatment programs in Europe.
AATOD works tirelessly to increase access to OTPs and medication-assisted treatment through various initiatives, including the expansion of mobile vans and treatment programs in correctional facilities. They advocate for policy changes and collaborate with policymakers and regulatory authorities to save lives and combat the opioid crisis. AATOD's mission is supported by donations and they actively engage in research, education, and advocacy to address the challenges and complexities of opioid addiction and treatment.
