Prior to NIATx, no national resource center existed to help community-based addiction treatment providers improve their organizational performance.
"Other organizations provide information on addiction, but NIATx is unique in its focus on process improvement," said NIATx Co-Deputy Director Todd Molfenter, PhD.
In 2012, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) selected NIATx to serve for five years as the national coordinating center for the Addiction Technology Transfer Center Network.
This assignment "would not have happened without RWJF's support for NIATx as a national resource center," said NIATx Co-Deputy Director Todd Molfenter, PhD.
