The New England ATTC hosted this webinar which focused on how the ADA applies to addiction services in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.  Today, 30 years after the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), thousands of people in recovery from addiction are unaware of their civil rights under the law.
