Conference Thank You 

Thank you to the 600 treatment professionals that attended, sponsored, exhibited, volunteered, and presented NAATP National 2023! We had a successful conference with great energy. Our members and attendees went back home with renewed vision and direction as the conference environment revolved around thought-provoking discussions and beneficial networking. 


Location and Theme

NAATP National 2023 was the 44th Addiction Treatment Leadership Conference for The National Association. It was held at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Washington D.C. on May 21-23 2023. The theme was Meeting the Challenges of Our Time: Acuity, Equity, Workforce, and Reimbursement. Additionally, the conference held a Hill Day on May 24th which gave our attendees the opportunity to travel to Capitol Hill as a collective of treatment advocates to meet with Members of Congress.
