Addiction Prevention & Support
National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence – Rochester Area (NCADD-RA)
Addiction affects all of us directly or indirectly. For every person impacted by the disease of addiction, there are others – family, friends or colleagues whose lives are disrupted by the effects of this disease. It is America’s number one health problem.
The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence – Rochester Area can help. As one of over 30 Councils in New York State and over 90 Councils nationwide, the express purpose of Councils is to prevent addiction and to reduce the incidence and prevalence of the disease of alcoholism and substance use disorder. Additionally, we work to prevent problem gambling which is often referred to as the “hidden addiction,” as there are no outward warning signs of a problem.
Mission
NCADD-RA provides research-based and evidence-based substance use and problem gambling prevention services to a diverse population through education, support, resources, advocacy and referral.
