The Center for Alcohol and Drug Resources, a Program of Children’s Aid and Family Services, provides substance misuse prevention, education, information and referral services to county residents, businesses, schools, faith-based organizations, municipal alliances and social service agencies. Many of our services are offered to the public at no cost.

The Center also provides support on the journey of recovery, including peer-to-peer recovery services, case management, resources and links to community services as well as support for individuals whose loved ones are suffering from the disease of addiction. Programs for older adults that keep them socially connected while promoting wellness and celebrating healthy aging are also offered.

Children's Aid and Family Services provide high-quality, innovative services to children, adults, and their families that advance social, educational, and emotional development and well-being.

The Strengthening Families Program for parents and youth is delivered over seven or fourteen weeks in parent, youth, and family sessions that are highly interactive and include role-playing, discussions, learning games, and family projects. The family skills program is designed to delay the onset of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use, increase resistance to peer pressure, and improve parent management skills.
