Welcome to the 2025 AATOD Conference Website

About AATOD

The American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence works with federal and state agency officials concerning opioid treatment policy throughout the United States. We also work with our partner, the World Federation for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence, with regard to international initiatives and working with designated agencies within the United Nations.

About the Conference

The 2025 American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence, Inc. (AATOD) Conference will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, October 4-8, 2025. The 2025 conference theme is “The Evolving Field of Opioid Treatment.”

Our intent is to educate and promote acceptance and integration of MAT options by patients, families, clinicians, the medical system, judicial systems, government, policymakers, social service administrations, and the general public. We will disseminate innovative, evidence-based initiatives and treatment techniques to better serve patients and providers, improve program development and administration, promote integration across the continuum of care, and enhance patient outcomes to assist communities in developing an effective response to this crisis.

Conference Objectives

By the end of the conference, we will:
  • Evaluate the rapidly changing nature and the severity of the opioid epidemic and associated outcomes and develop recommendations to improve the delivery of care in various populations based on evidence-based practices.
  • Interpret emerging trends and regulatory and policy changes to determine their effects on clinical practice.
  • Discuss peer support and peer-run programs in treating opioid use disorder to improve patient outcomes.
  • Review current evidence addressing the opioid epidemic and its implications for patients, clinicians, administrators, and policy makers by identifying the most effective interventions.
  • Disseminate innovative approaches, referral pathways, and partnerships designed to treat emerging needs of patients with opioid use disorder, address pivotal issues in health, and improve patient outcomes by providing examples of effective methods and how to implement them.
The AATOD Conference is the largest gathering of the opioid treatment community. This conference brings innovative people together in a diverse array of forums and workshops. Hot Topic Roundtable discussions, inspirational plenary sessions, tours of programs, and exhibit booths with the latest technologies, science, and products that support our work are just a few of the activities that surely stimulated participant discussion, debate, and innovative ideas to share with our respective areas of work, our communities, and our treatment programs nationwide.
