Our Purpose
Our purpose is to prevent, reduce and eliminate the problems associated with alcohol and other drug use.
By working in partnership with other public and private organizations, we plan, support and evaluate a comprehensive system of services.
Our work is guided by priorities that help us move closer to our purpose and are based on the principles that substance use disorder is a health issue that requires a holistic, person-centered, data-driven approach over the long-term.
