Vision & Value Statements
We
believe through our contract provider- and collaborative-partnerships
(locally, statewide and nationally), consumers can move towards
abstinence with positive life-style changes.
We
believe that as stewards of public funds for alcohol, tobacco and other
drug prevention, intervention and treatment services, our system needs
to continually refine and learn from the behaviors and activities of our
consumers and their families – as affected by the disease of alcoholism
and other drug addiction.
We
believe that a full continuum of care, including prevention,
intervention and treatment is only the beginning of the foundation of
recovery from the disease of alcoholism and other drug addiction.

Take "Time To Text" Your Teens.
For
many teens, text messaging is a primary form of communication. It’s a
quick, easy way for them to make plans and instantly stay in touch.
That’s why we’ve created a free, downloadable guide called "Time
To Text" This easy-to-use tool offers tips on how to text, provides
sample messages to send to teens and features a cheat sheet parents can
keep in their wallet.
