How Can I Help NAMA Recovery?

Time to read: 2 min

Helping NAMA Recovery

  • We want Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT, i.e. methadone, buprenorphine, etc.) patients to think of NAMA Recovery as their union supporting patients and quality methadone treatment.
  • We want healthcare professionals and policy makers to think of NAMA Recovery as their union because we support the quality methadone treatment that they provide.
  • When you joined NAMA Recovery you paid a $25 membership fee. This supports the newsletter that is published 2-3 times a year and helps to pay for some of the operating costs like the telephone and internet.
  • Most of the things that NAMA Recovery does your membership dues is not enough. So we always need a little extra help from those who can afford to make a donation. Just imagine that if every member donated one dollar a month then NAMA Recovery would not have to worry about basic operational costs. That would be a big help!
  • But giving a donation is not the only way to help NAMA Recovery. From the start NAMA Recovery was always looking for alternative ways that members could use to help. NAMA Recovery was one of the first organizations to join iGive. Since then we have found other programs and alternative ways for members to support NAMA Recovery. So now you have several choices and we are always looking for more.
