1 in 3 individuals know someone who has a substance use disorder. This could be our mother, father, child, relative, friend, co-worker, or someone who know within the community. Navigating supports, treatment, and other resources for a loved one who is struggling with substance use can be a confusing, daunting, and overwhelming process. At the Addiction Policy Forum, we heard our community and the enCompass: A Comprehensive Training on Navigating Addiction was born to provide science-based information, evidenced-based treatment options, and support to help make this process a little easier.
