Join National Addiction Treatment Week from October 18-24, 2021 and inspire the next generation of medical professionals to treat addiction and save lives. Each year, National Addiction Treatment Week raises awareness about the gap between the number of patients who need addiction treatment and qualified medical professionals available to treat patients using evidence-based approaches. The week highlights the critical need for more clinicians to enter the field of addiction medicine. Check out the schedule of events and get involved by:
- Following @TreatmentWeek on Twitter
- Sharing messages using the week's toolkit
- Using hashtag #TreatmentWeek to share your perspectives on why it is important to treat addiction
- Inspiring medical students and residents to consider getting certified in addiction care and treatment
