An Overview of NCADD - Greater KC
Mission Statement: It is the mission of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence to reduce the impact of alcohol, drugs and other addictions by providing quality services to individuals, families and the community.
Through information, education, prevention, referral and assessment services, it is the hope of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence/Greater Kansas City to help those suffering from the disease of alcoholism and other forms of addiction.
In addition to school-based programs, NCADD/Greater KC provides services to individuals, families and professionals. Because the NCADD/Greater KC believes that too many lives have been lost and families destroyed because of addiction, it is committed to providing assistance to those in need regardless of their ability to pay.
