To fulfill our mission, NCADD Sacramento takes a holistic approach to the issues of addiction and recovery, understanding that different members of the community can get involved in different ways.
The addict facing jail time unless they stay clean and sober needs a tough, high quality alternative-to-incarceration treatment program; while the ten year old who sees ads on the internet making alcohol look "cool" needs a best practice prevention program. The primary care doctor who might be the first "gatekeeper" to notice a potential problem needs education and training on substance abuse topics; while family members, employers, and concerned community members need information on where to go for help.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to know how they can get more involved and make a difference!
