The Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services Board of Lorain County is a special purpose governmental agency charged with planning, evaluating, coordinating, funding and contracting for the delivery of publicly-financed alcohol and other drug addiction education,prevention and treatment services for the benefit of Lorain County residents.
Mission
The mission of the Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services Board of Lorain County is to evaluate program quality and continuity of care, as well as, plan, coordinate, fund and contract for services to prevent, educate and treat alcoholism and other drug addiction that will result in the well-being of Lorain County residents.
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.
