Since NCADD was founded in 1944, we have played a key role in the recovery of millions of individuals and family members!

Please join our cause and become one of the thousands of individuals and family members whose voice is a powerful tool for progress and hope.  NCADD advocates for the rights of alcoholics and drug dependent people and their families—for the right to fair and equitable treatment in housing, in employment, in insurance coverage, in federal educational loan programs.  Join us as we advocate for access to appropriate and affordable treatment, and to reduce the stigma and discrimination associated with the disease.  We have made great strides but there is much more to do.

Won’t you add your voice to ours?  Together we can make a difference.

 

 

Policy Statements

Policy and advocacy play an integral role in NCADD’s mission.  We fight for individuals and families affected by alcoholism and drug dependence in Washington, DC, in state capitols and in local communities.  Advocacy is just one more way you can make a difference for people with alcoholism and drug addiction.

• Increase funding for research and programs;
• Improve access to treatment and recovery support,
• Reduce stigma and eliminate discrimination against people with alcoholism and drug addiction in insurance coverage, at work, in housing  and elsewhere in their lives.

To help, here are several policy statements that the NCADD Board of Directors has adopted over the past years.  We urge you to use them and to join us as an advocate!
