THE MISSION OF CCAPP IS TO PROMOTE EXCELLENCE IN THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES FOCUSED ON SUBSTANCE USE AND ITS ASSOCIATED PROBLEMS BY PROVIDING THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF ADVOCACY, COMPETENCE, AND ETHICS AMONG PROGRAMS AND PROFESSIONALS.

CELEBRATING OVER 50 YEARS OF LEADING CHANGE IN THE TREATMENT AND RECOVERY SPACE.CCAPP IS THE LARGEST STATE-WIDE CONSORTIUM OF COMMUNITY-BASED FOR-PROFIT AND NON-PROFIT SUBSTANCE-USE DISORDER TREATMENT AGENCIES AND ADDICTION FOCUSED PROFESSIONALS, PROVIDING SERVICES TO OVER 100,000 CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ANNUALLY IN RESIDENTIAL, OUTPATIENT, AND PRIVATE PRACTICE SETTINGS. ITS THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS AND 500 PROGRAM AND RECOVERY RESIDENCE MEMBERS PROVIDE SUBSTANCE-USE DISORDER TREATMENT SERVICES IN THE MAJORITY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES (DHCS) LICENSED AND/OR CERTIFIED SITES THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA, AND CONSTITUTE THE LARGEST INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE STATE'S PUBLICLY FUNDED SUBSTANCE-USE DISORDER TREATMENT NETWORK. CCAPP IS THE ONLY STATE-WIDE CONSORTIUM REPRESENTING ALL MODALITIES OF SUBSTANCE-USE DISORDER TREATMENT AND RECOVERY PROGRAMS AND IS ONE OF THE MOST RECOGNIZED AND TRUSTED ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS IN THE ADDICTION SERVICES SPACE IN CALIFORNIA. CCAPP TAKES PRIDE IN LISTENING TO ITS MEMBERS. FOR YEARS, OUR MEMBERS HAVE ASKED FOR FASTER PROCESSING TIMES, SHORTER QUEUE TIMES FOR OUR TELEPHONE SYSTEM, AND A MORE RESPONSIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE SYSTEM. CCAPP HAS DELIVERED ON ALL OF THESE ITEMS. THROUGH IMPORTANT TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES, INCLUDING A NEW SERVER, A NEW PHONE SYSTEM, UPGRADES TO OUR APPLICATIONS, AND INCREASED STAFF TRAINING, PROCESSING TIMES FOR NEW APPLICATIONS AND RENEWALS ARE HAPPENING QUICKER THAN EVER. WITH ALL OF THE ADVANCEMENTS NOW IN PLACE, OUR AVERAGE RENEWAL TIME FOR A STANDARD CREDENTIAL IS JUST UNDER 30 DAYS. OUR AVERAGE PHONE QUEUE TIMES HAVE DECREASED FROM AN AVERAGE 15:05 MINUTES WITH OUR OLD PHONE TECHNOLOGY TO 32 SECONDS WITH OUR NEW SYSTEM.CCAPP CONTINUED TO IMPLEMENT SEVERAL LARGE GRANTS SUCCESSFULLY. FROM WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT TO HEALTH EQUITY AND YOUTH TREATMENT, CCAPP IS UTILIZING MULTIPLE GRANTS TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF ITS MEMBERS AND CREDENTIAL HOLDERS. OUR CREDENTIALING WEBSITE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REDESIGNED TO MAKE IT EASIER TO NAVIGATE AND TO HOUSE HELPFUL BLOGS, VIDEOS, AND TIPS FOR APPLICANTS. ANOTHER EXCITING DEVELOPMENT STEMMING FROM GRANT FUNDING IS CCAPPS NEW AUDIO-VISUAL STUDIO. CCAPP WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE CUTTING-EDGE EQUIPMENT AND STATE-OF-THE-ART DIGITAL PLATFORMS AND FUND THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PHYSICAL SITE TO RECORD, EDIT, AND PRODUCE VIDEOS. WE ARE ALREADY USING THE NEW CAPABILITIES TO PRODUCE TRAINING VIDEOS AND CE VIDEOS.ONE OF OUR MOST EXCITING ACHIEVEMENTS THIS YEAR HAS BEEN THE SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH OF THE COALITION OF ADVOCATES FOR BETTER ADDICTION TREATMENT (CABAT). THIS VITAL INITIATIVE, BASED IN ORANGE COUNTY, UNITES VOICES FROM ACROSS THE STATE TO COMBAT THE NIMBY EFFORTS IN ORANGE COUNTY AND PROTECT THE HOUSING RIGHTS OF OUR RECOVERY RESIDENCE COMMUNITY. AS WE GROW THIS INITIATIVE, WE ARE STANDING FIRM AGAINST THE FORCES TRYING TO UNDERMINE VITAL RECOVERY SPACES.ON THE LEGISLATIVE FRONT, CCAPP WAS SUCCESSFUL IN DEFEATING SEVEN ANTI-TREATMENT AND NIMBY BILLS THAT THREATENED THE TREATMENT AND RECOVERY INDUSTRIES.
