Our Mission
Founded in the early 1970’s, the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence of the San Fernando Valley [NCADD SFV] is a non-profit community-based organization dedicated to providing multiple levels of substance-use disorder (SUD) outpatient treatment services to those in need of recovery, as well as education and prevention services to schools and the community regarding the disease of alcoholism and drug dependence/abuse and the negative effects abuse/addiction has on the individual, their family, and their community.
Our Beliefs
In a society that continually promotes alcohol and drug use at every level, the need to provide education on the dangers of alcohol and/or drug abuse and its effect on the family has never been greater. We believe this education needs to begin as early as possible in people’s lives. Properly educated, children and youth are much more resistant to being susceptible to use or abuse of alcohol or drugs. We support the disease concept of addiction as defined by the American Medical Association and believe that addiction is centered in the mutual relationship between the individual and his or her environment rather than centered solely in the individual. Therefore, alcohol and/or other drug (addiction) problems are not only individual problems, but problems affecting the family, the community and society. We know the effects on the family are just as devastating and understand alcoholism and/or drug addiction is family disease.
Our Vision
Every person has the right to be free from alcoholism and drug dependency. NCADD SFV is dedicated to providing prevention, education and referral services to the community regarding the effects of alcohol and drug use/abuse, beginning with children and youth. Our vision is to provide quality prevention, education, treatment and counseling, and referral services regarding substance use disorders.
Our Services
NCADD SFV services include: (i) adult alcohol and/or substance use counseling and treatment; (ii) compliant referrals for DCFS, court ordered probation and/or parole for substance use counseling and treatment; (iii) Drug Medi-Cal, Private Health Insurance and Self-Pay treatment services; (IV) Parenting and Family program; (v) PC1210; (vi) Drug Testing; (vii) Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) ; (viii) Individual Therapy; (IX) Care Coordination and referrals for detoxification, hospitals, sober living and other social determinants.
Our Goal
Our goal is to aid in the active development of a community-based prevention and educational process designed to modify social and economic patterns related to alcohol and other drug use within the community, promoting healthful behaviors, decisions and environments that will reduce or eliminate the problematic use of alcohol and other drugs.
