The Council is an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to provide resources and opportunities to reduce the impact of addiction and to improve related health issues for the entire community. We accomplish this through prevention, consultation, education, advocacy, assessment, intervention and treatment services. We will make available our services to all, regardless of ability to pay, ethnicity, race, gender, age, or sexual/gender orientation. The disease of addiction to substances and associated behaviors threatens to cause irreparable physical, psychological, emotional and social problems for the affected individual. Addiction has the potential to frustrate, discourage and destroy the lives of the family, friends, employers and the community closest to the individual suffering from the disease. Effective treatment of addiction requires a comprehensive approach towards recovery and the development of a healthy lifestyle. The Council works to develop other services to continue to achieve a positive impact on the lives in our community. The Council's services for prevention, education, advocacy, assessment and intervention help to reduce or eliminate the stigma of addiction, which prevents people from seeking treatment. Our staff and volunteers are our number one asset. It is through their integrity, professionalism, and dedication that the message of overcoming and/or avoiding addiction and our services are communicated to those who need them most. Statistics for Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2004 31,708 people served.  Many of the programs of the Council are funded wholly or in part through the Bucks County Drug and Alcohol Commission, Inc., under a contract between the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the County of Bucks. |
