NNADAP

NNADAP has been reviewed several times during its long history. Most recently, the 1998 NNADAP General Review (PDF) generated 37 recommendations. Since 1998, some of these recommendations have been addressed, while others are informing current renewal efforts. Since the review, the urgency and complexity of issues facing communities has increased. Prescription drug abuse has emerged as a major issue in many communities, and the recognition of the unique treatment needs of certain populations (e.g., youth, women, and people with mental health issues), has also become more defined. Likewise, the number of people who specifically identify their trauma and associated substance use issues as being linked to Indian Residential Schools has also increased.
