Founding NSC Members

Organizational Members

what our members say

“I connected our organization to the NSC shortly after we were approached to stand up a sobering program as part of a continuum of SUD care expansion. Our organization had no direct experience running sobering, and a previous sobering provider ended their program amidst safety, facility, and funding concerns. Finding NSC resources and access to expertise has been invaluable as we designed our own approach to sobering.”

Alison Noice, MA, MS, CADC-III

Executive Director
CODA Inc. (NSC Founding Member)
Portland, OR

“The value that the NSC brings to the work that I do is that it gives space where I can gain information from other providers, on what works and what doesn’t, ways to expand, and best practices.”

Tina Sentner, LAADC

Program and Personnel Manager
Horizon Treatment Services (NSC Founding Member)

“NSC has been very helpful in being able to understand other Sobering Center models, networking, and best practices.”
