Purpose

The National Center for Advocacy and Recovery, Inc. (NCAAR) promotes recovery and wellness through advocacy, education, and progressive policy initiatives that identify substance use as a public health concern, reduce stigma and its related harms, and fosters macro and micro-level systems change.

OUR THREE-PRONGED APPROACH INCLUDES: ADVOCACY, PUBLIC Affairs, CARE COORDINATION

Our grassroots advocacy program provides education and awareness by harnessing the voices of recovery. Advocates share their message with the public and legislators to improve services and policies that make the landscape of behavioral health more recovery-oriented. Issues in the state that bear the stamp of NCAAR advocacy include: Medication Assisted Treatment, recovery support services, harm reduction, criminal justice reform, and insurance parity for behavioral health.

The Substance Abuse Initiative and Behavioral Health Initiative (SAI/BHI) and Family Violence Option (FVO) advocate for quality service and care for recipients of public assistance experiencing issues related to addiction, mental health, and domestic violence.
