Washington
Visual
Early-morning Washington. Neighborhood streets. A Metro train arriving. People walking. Treatment-center exterior details. The DC skyline — but not a monuments-only montage.
On screen
WASHINGTON, DC — then: Recovery happens here.
Audio
Natural city sound under restrained music.
0:12 – 0:30
The Need for Connection
Visual
Different environments dissolve into one another: healthcare, counseling, community organizations, recovery-support settings.
Audio
Music holds; sound design carries the dissolves.
Narration
“Recovery rarely depends on one person, one provider or one service. It is strengthened when people, organizations and communities connect.”
0:30 – 0:48
The Coalition
Visual
Coalition mark emerges. Board-room details. Hands arriving. Folders opening. People greeting each other.
On screen
DC ADDICTION TREATMENT AND RECOVERY COALITION
Audio
Music lifts; room tone and greetings.
Narration
“Across Washington, providers and community partners are working toward a more connected behavioral health and recovery system.”
0:48 – 1:30
The People
Visual
Music builds slightly. Portraits appear individually, roughly three to four seconds each: Ashburn, Dr. Gloria E. Cain, Parks, Larry D. Gourdine, Crissman, Jennifer Loken, Jennifer Moore, Anne DeGirolamo, Henry P. Pierce III.
On screen
Name, role and organization, one portrait at a time.
Audio
Music builds. Natural sound recedes.

Draft · awaiting final beat sheet
The remaining ninety seconds — the return to the city, the coalition's focus areas and the closing dedication — are still in outline. This chapter will publish those beats as they are drafted, alongside the finished cut.
Narration in this treatment is original tribute writing, not attributed to DC ATRC. Portraits are published by the coalition's Board of Directors directory; one seat has no verified photograph and is held open.
