The Coalition is a broad-based, diverse, not-for-profit organization that educates and advocates on behalf of people with addictive disorders. Our mission is to promote recovery through advocacy, public education and service. Addiction, whether to drugs, alcohol, tobacco or involving other substances or actions, is a disease that can be effectively treated, allowing individuals and those around them to recover their lives. Our goals are to increase access to treatment, reduce stigma through public education and provide a recovering voice to help shape public policy.
