Together We Do More…

NACoA is a growing organization, committed to representing the voices of children in families affected by addiction. Our message gathers strength and multiplies as affiliates throughout the country reflect it in local and regional programs, public statements, and prevention and treatment activities and materials. When we work together, we reduce the pain and trauma of family alcoholism and other drug addiction in the lives of vulnerable developing children and increase their potential for resiliency and healthy, productive lives. Together, we strengthen the impact of both of our organizations.
