NAATP wants to provide accessibility to all. We believe in aiding more people with the critical information and resources on our website with the tool called Recite Me, an innovative accessibility and language toolbar to make the information on our website easily available and inclusive to allow users to customize our website in the way that works for them. This new feature is an expression of our ongoing commitment to ensure access for all to treatment information and education.
Our Commitment

Why should NAATP Members consider a website accessibility tool?
The NAATP website is a public resource for people seeking treatment and a gateway to our member’s treatment center websites. We encourage our NAATP members to join in this commitment and to consider integrating an accessibility tool on their websites to allow for an inclusive experience for families and individuals seeking treatment and navigating the process of finding quality treatment.
Why does NAATP include accessibility features on our website?
For people with varying visual abilities, non-English speakers, and people who have difficulty reading text on a screen, Recite Me will help you access, view, and use our web pages in a way that works best for you.
