The APT Foundation (Founded 1970 in New Haven, Connecticut) is an American non profit organization (NPO) that supports those with substance use disorders and/or mental illness.[1] They are the first methadone clinic in the United States.[2] The organization innovated the open-access model, an evidence based model for treatment that has proven to be more effective with longer latency.[3] It also contributes to research being done in the field of substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment, cognitive behavior treatment (CBT), and twelve step facilitation (TSF).[4]
Services[edit]
The foundation offers substance use disorder treatment as well as primary care, psychiatric, counseling, and vocational services.[3] It also is the first clinic to offer same-day options for substance abuse treatment.[2] This immediate access uses evidence-based best-practices focused on reducing wait times as a factor in improving systems for addiction treatment.[5]
