Services They Provided

Hope drives their attitudes, relationships, and actions to project the belief that positive change can occur, and goals can be achieved.
40 Quilts for 40 Beds
All of the 40 Beds in the Open Access Detox Center have a quilt that reflects the care and compassion of the local community.
Harm Reduction and Recovery
Took an evidence based approach to engage with people who use drugs by giving them life saving tools and information to set their own goals.
Community Education
ADC participated and offered several community awareness programs to expand their reach and raise addiction awareness within the community.
Treatment
Their philosophy was based on the premise that addiction is a treatable disease that has biological, psychological, social, and spiritual components. Accordingly, you would receive customized counseling services designed to address the internal and external factors in your individual addiction process.
