HISTORY AND MISSION |
| |
| CARE is serious
about our role in the community – to strengthen, empower and
support individuals and families through the provision of a high
quality comprehensive network of services for those concerned
about mental health, alcohol, tobacco and other drug
dependencies. CARE provides work/life solutions for businesses,
municipalities and school districts. |
| |
| In 1977 CARE incorporated with the single goal of
assessing the treatment needs of those suffering from the
problematic use of alcohol and/or other drugs. The intent was
to establish a free-standing agency, with the capacity to make
an unbiased referral for treatment based on the individual needs
of the client. |
| |
| Over time, additional services were added
including educational programs focused on preventing alcoholism,
tobacco use and other drug dependencies; helping students who
exhibit a need for treatment for drug use and/or other mental
health diagnosis; and assistance to businesses. |
