The Dr. James West Quality Improvement Award is given to TPAS. The award recognizes new and innovative clinical, operational, and systemic advancements that improve the quality and quantity of addiction treatment. Treatment Professionals in Alumni Services (TPAS) originated in 2010 when a call to establish an alumni program sparked a collaborative effort. Passionate alumni & recovery professionals across the nation joined forces, realizing the benefits of shared knowledge in supporting long-term recovery. TPAS evolved into a formal organization, uniting addiction treatment centers, recovery support services, and more. Today, TPAS serves as a hub for innovative solutions, fostering collaboration to enhance recovery outcomes. With a vision to promote dynamic collaboration and prioritize personal wellness, TPAS is dedicated to advocating for exemplary Alumni and Recovery Support Services programs.
