Why Join AAAP?

Considering a subscription to our official journal?

If you want to subscribe to The American Journal on Addictions (AJA), it is more economical to become a member of the Academy – you will receive the journal FREE with membership.  A Regular AAAP Membership costs $215 per year, while a non-member subscription to The American Journal on Addictions costs more than $289 per year.

Already participating in AAAP events and trainings?

If you are already contributing to the field of addiction psychiatry and participating in AAAP events, you are an excellent candidate for membership with the Academy.  We are constantly looking for dedicated and enthusiastic professionals interested in supporting our mission.  By becoming a member you will save hundreds of dollars on registration fees to our meetings, trainings and conferences.  Join now and network with experts in the field.

Looking to save money?

Unlike other psychiatric organizations, AAAP charges only one annual fee with no additional costs.  There are no regional fees, no chapter dues and no extra application fees.  AAAP memberships may be tax deductible as a business expense.  Our Regular Membership Rate is $175 less (more, if considering the chapter dues) than most national professional organizations. Click here for our annual membership rates.

Just beginning your career?

You may qualify for the Early Career Physician rate.  Physicians who are 1-3 years out of residency (or fellowship) qualify for a special discounted membership rate of only $100 per year.  This annual rate is good for three years post-residency, but allows Early Career Physicians all the same benefits as Regular Members.

Not an Addiction Psychiatrist, but want to become a member?

If you are a non-psychiatrist, related professional making a contribution to the field of Addiction Psychiatry, you are invited to join. We welcome professionals from a variety of backgrounds. Click here for more information on Affiliate Memberships.
