Assessments
ASAC offers a thorough assessment of a person’s use of substances to determine if treatment is warranted, and if so, what level of care is most appropriate. We will then work with each individual to identify the most appropriate and cost-effective treatment option for their specific needs.
Bring recovery and hope to those struggling with addiction by giving your time, goods and money.
Each gift will be utilized to assist in changing lives.
Not always the most glamorous jobs, but every bit of effort helps. There are several ways you can volunteer,
