A group of public and private entities have joined forces for form a campaign called ACTION. ACTION stands for the Adopting Changes to Improve Outcomes Now. The campaign was launched in September with a goal of seeing 55,000 lives positively impacted through effective addiction treatment.

"The ACTION Campaign aims to challenge 500 treatment agencies nationwide to implement one of several simple changes in treatment operations over an 18-month period. Currently, nearly 33 percent of those who receive addiction treatment drop out of the programs."

The campaign is focusing on three main factors in order to reach its goal: 1) Rapid access to treatment, 2) Increased engagement by those who are in treatment, and 3) A seamless transition from one stage of care to another.
