We drive seamless integration of substance use services within behavioral health and align these systems with larger health and technology systems.
Through leadership and collaboration, the National Council works to unite substance use and mental health services with broader physical health and technology systems. By addressing systemic barriers and fostering innovation, we advance comprehensive care models that ensure each person receives the support they need, wherever they seek it.
