The coalition
A network that became an organization.
DC ATRC grew out of a long-standing collaboration among substance use disorder providers in Washington, DC. More than ten years ago, a small group began meeting informally to discuss shared challenges and improve services for people seeking recovery. About a year ago the group formalized as a DC registered nonprofit with a board of 11 community providers.
dcatrc.orgThe DC Addiction Treatment and Recovery Coalition is a collaborative network of healthcare providers, community organizations, and technology partners working together to build a fully integrated behavioral health and substance use disorder care system across Washington, DC.

A note on the record
The coalition describes a board of 11 community providers. Its current Directors section visibly names nine. This tribute is built around those nine verified names and holds two additional chapter slots open rather than inventing the members who fill them.
The chapters
Nine people. One shared commitment.
Each chapter answers who they are, where they have served, and how their work connects to the coalition's mission.
