## Description

**About ADAC (Alternative Drug and Alcohol Counseling)**

ADAC prides itself on understanding the ongoing process of addiction and substance abuse. This means an objective approach to treating the patient.

ADAC has developed a drug and alcohol program which provides quality and supportive service to those individuals, families and significant others who are in need of understanding their substance abuses or those of others.

Every person coming through the door is treated as an individual person with individual needs. Not everyone has the same issues, patterns, concerns, viewpoint or ideas.

The main goal of treatment is abstinence. This is not always the philosophy of the patient, but one that is necessary for success.
