APT Foundation

What makes care truly accessible? At APT, treatment doesn’t require appointments, long waits, or perfect timing. People can walk in, receive care the same day, and access support in one place. Because when someone is ready, care should be ready too. aptfoundation.org/?utm_content=s…

Access to care doesn’t just happen — it’s something that has to be planned and fought for! When someone is ready for help, access can’t be an obstacle. It can be the difference between staying stuck and getting better. aptfoundation.org/podcast/aaron/…

Stigma remains one of the biggest barriers to treatment — and leaders like Dr. Nora Volkow have helped shift the conversation from blame to access! This Women’s History Month, we honor the women whose leadership continues to challenge stigma and make recovery possible.

Getting help shouldn’t depend on luck! 🍀 When someone is ready, they deserve care—not waitlists, barriers, or uncertainty. Access should be immediate, compassionate, and available to everyone who needs it.

At the APT Foundation, we’ve reduced the average time from intake to treatment — because timely access can mean the difference between continuing to struggle and starting recovery. Care should be there the moment it’s needed.

Access SHOULDN’T depend on where you live, who you know, or what resources you have! Barriers still prevent too many people from getting help when they’re ready. Care should meet people where they are — without delay, without judgment. 💙

In the most recent episode of Open Access, Open Mic — APT Board Member, Aaron Perry shares a powerful truth: support isn’t about forcing change! It’s about making sure someone knows they’re not alone when they’re ready to take that step. aptfoundation.org/podcast/aaron/…

One year ago, APT opened its Guilford program to bring care closer to home. Since then, 250+ people have accessed same-day treatment — many who previously traveled hours for help! Care shouldn’t require waiting. Share this so more people know help is nearby.

When someone says, “I’m ready to get help,” they shouldn’t be told to call back in a few days! They should be seen that day. That’s the heart of APT’s open-access model—and what Aaron Perry shares on Open Access, Open Mic. aptfoundation.org/podcast/aaron/.?utm_content=sked_6984f37186cf32fcec243b96&utm_medium=social&utm_name=sked&utm_source=twitter

What we say matters more than we think! Sometimes the words we’ve always used end up reinforcing shame instead of offering support. What’s one phrase you’ve stopped using because it contributes to stigma—especially around substance use or mental health?

Every APT clinic offers group sessions—like stress management, relapse prevention, acupuncture, job-seeking skills, and more! Each schedule is unique, but they all support one goal: recovery that meets you where you are. 💙 aptfoundation.org/group-schedule…

The way we talk about substance use and recovery shapes how people see themselves — and how others treat them! Small shifts in everyday language can break stigma and build connection. 🗣 How do you change the conversation? Let us know in the comments below.

Stigma keeps people OUT of treatment... If we treated opioid use disorder like any other chronic illness — with compassion, urgency, and support — more people would get the help they need! Let’s break the stigma. Let’s break the barriers. aptfoundation.org/breakingbarrie…

The most powerful ripple effect starts with one “yes.” Board member, Aaron Perry knows this firsthand. Years ago, he wasn’t in a position to help himself — let alone others. But with support, he found recovery. And now? He’s helping others do the same. aptfoundation.org/?utm_content=s…
