The Mid-Atlantic ATTC is one of the original eleven ATTCs funded by CSAT in 1993, and from 2001 it included MD, NC, VA and WV. The current Mid-Atlantic ATTC region includes KY, TN, VA and WV, bringing together four states that not only have significant rural areas, but western VA, eastern KY, middle TN and all of WV form most of Southern Appalachia. These two factors alone create substantial commonality among these states regarding substance use disorders treatment and recovery issues. The purpose of the Mid-Atlantic ATTC is to develop and strengthen the substance abuse disorders workforce in partnership with stakeholder groups, by assessing training and development needs and by developing and conducting training and technology transfer activities to meet those needs. Raising awareness of and improving skills in using evidence-based and promising treatment and recovery practices in recovery-oriented systems of care is a priority. For efficiency, the Mid-Atlantic ATTC will rely on online courses for events that raise awareness or impart limited information. For technical assistance or learning interventions that develop skills, the ATTC will use a combination of sequenced activities that incorporate face-to-face instruction, behavioral rehearsal, supervision and coaching with long-term booster sessions and follow-up activities.
