Strengthening California’s Substance Use Disorder Treatment System

The California Consortium of Addiction Programs and Professionals (CCAPP) is the largest and only statewide membership organization (501(c)(6)) dedicated to representing community-based, for-profit, and nonprofit substance use disorder (SUD) treatment agencies and addiction-focused professionals. As a key stakeholder in California’s public health and behavioral health infrastructure, CCAPP serves over 500,000 residents annually through a comprehensive network of residential, outpatient, and private practice settings.

With 100 individual members and 100 program members operating over 500 facilities, CCAPP provides treatment services in the majority of DHCS-licensed and/or certified sites statewide. This network constitutes the most significant component of California’s publicly funded substance use disorder treatment system, ensuring that individuals struggling with addiction receive quality care and evidence-based treatment.

As the only statewide consortium representing all treatment modalities, CCAPP plays a critical role in supporting DUI programs, Narcotic Treatment Programs (NTPs), and Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs). CCAPP also provides workforce development, policy advocacy, and programmatic support to enhance service delivery and improve patient outcomes.

Why CCAPP Matters to Policymakers

  • Expanding Access to Treatment: CCAPP advocates for policy solutions that reduce barriers to treatment and ensure Californians have access to affordable, high-quality care.
  • Workforce Development & Training: CCAPP supports policies that strengthen the addiction treatment workforce, ensuring a pipeline of well-trained professionals to meet growing demand.
  • Public Health & Safety: CCAPP’s work aligns with statewide initiatives to reduce substance-related harm, improve behavioral health outcomes, and support recovery-oriented care.
  • Funding & Sustainability: CCAPP works to secure state and federal funding to maintain and expand life-saving treatment services across California.

With opioid-related deaths on the rise and the demand for treatment at an all-time high, we need strong policies and funding to support the people and programs making a difference. CCAPP is here to be a resource for policymakers, offering expertise, data, and direct connections to providers who see the challenges and solutions firsthand.
