Celebrating National Addiction Professionals' Day, NAADAC, the Association for Addiction Professionals, will host an Open House on September 20, 2007, from 11:00 am until 2:00 pm at its national office at 1001 N. Washington Street, Suite 201, Alexandria, Virginia, 22314. NAADAC is the largest organization for addiction-focused health care professionals and is committed to the professional development of individuals who treat and prevent addiction.

National Addiction Professionals' Day is held in September as a part of Recovery Month, a time when people throughout the nation are celebrating their success in overcoming addiction. The day is meant to recognize the important work that tens of thousands of addiction counselors perform in addiction prevention, intervention and treatment. Without the important work of addiction services professionals, the goal of addiction recovery cannot be accomplished.

"We welcome everyone to visit us on September 20th, or hold their own local event to celebrate the powerful work that addiction services professionals do. As each life is recovered, that helps the whole family and eventually translates into the recovery of a community," said Cynthia Moreno Tuohy, NCAC II, CCDC III, SAP, Executive Director of NAADAC.

Recovery Month events are supported, in part, by a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, US Department of Health and Human Services.
