MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- NAADAC, the
Association for Addiction Professionals, names NUWAY the recipient
of its 2019 Organizational Achievement Award. NAADAC, the nation's
largest membership organization for addiction-focused healthcare
professionals, issues the award on September
20 each year in honor of National Addiction Professionals
Day.
NAADAC cites NUWAY's "stand-out reputation among treatment
providers in the Twin Cities of
Minneapolis and St. Paul," trauma-informed treatment of
co-occurring disorders, and LGBTQIA+ and medication-assisted
treatment-friendly environment in its award announcement. Also
mentioned is NUWAY's support of recovery housing, and the program's
commitment to the field of addiction treatment.
NAADAC's recognition highlights the central pillars of NUWAY's
strategic growth in recent years. NUWAY launched a new model of
care called Recovery In Supportive Environments (R.I.S.E.), in
2013. R.I.S.E. is designed to bridge traditional gaps in the care
continuum, and help clients access high-quality treatment, recovery
housing, and community-based recovery support services. NUWAY
recently added to its multi-modality approach, Accelerated
Resolution Therapy (ART), a new evidence-based trauma therapy that
can produce positive outcomes in fewer clinical sessions. ART
answers the growing need to treat trauma while increasing clinical
efficiency and efficacy. NUWAY also introduced a practicum program
through which up to 50 students from Minnesota's leading universities and colleges
receive expert supervision, training, and guidance from experienced
NUWAY team members.
Being an excellent addiction treatment workplace is a core NUWAY
goal. NUWAY is committed to the highest-quality clinical care for
its clients and offers highly competitive wages and compensation.
NUWAY's management team focusses on policies and practices to help
clinicians and support staff maintain a good work-life balance,
reduce compassion fatigue, and continue professional and personal
growth.
"NAADAC's recognition of our commitment to the addiction
treatment profession is especially meaningful. NUWAY is first, and
foremost, a family of exceptionally compassionate and talented
caregivers. We believe that as an organization, and as a field, we
must work to support the people who dedicate their lives to helping
individuals and families find recovery. Fostering an environment of
safety, support, and growth is essential to making NUWAY a good
home for the professionals that carry out our mission," says NUWAY
Executive Director and CEO, David
Vennes.
Established in 1966, NUWAY is a non-profit, evidence-based
addiction and co-occurring mental health treatment provider
accredited by The Joint Commission. With residential and outpatient
treatment facilities throughout Minnesota, NUWAY helps clients access a
coordinated continuum of care that includes treatment, recovery
