National Advocacy

ASAM is committed to advocating for a future when addiction prevention, treatment, remission and recovery are accessible to all, and profoundly improve the health of all people.

US Capitol

Overview

Working closely with lawmakers on Capitol Hill and leaders in the Administration, we advocate for policies that promote a stronger addiction treatment workforce, standardize the delivery of individualized addiction treatment, and ensure equitable access and coverage for comprehensive, high-quality addiction care for all. ASAM’s Legislative Advocacy Committee (LAC) oversees ASAM’s government relations program and its activities.  These activities include coordination of legislative days on Capitol Hill for ASAM members, Congressional briefings, and grasstops and grassroots advocacy, as well as development of ASAM’s positions on federal legislation.
