NCADD-Maryland believes the citizens of Maryland have a right to access effective prevention, intervention and treatment services in the state, and that accessing such services should be available upon request. We envision a day, in the near future, where barriers to accessing appropriate and affordable levels of care and services becomes a thing of the past.

We focus on raising public awareness and sensitivity on the issue of alcoholism and drug dependence in Maryland through sustaining a campaign of education, information-dissemination and public policy advocacy to ensure persons affected by the disease of addiction, and their families, have access to resources, support systems and services critical in accessing treatment and sustaining recovery.

NCADD-Maryland, a 501c3, tax-exempt organization, was formed in 1988. We are one of over 90 NCADD affiliates operating in the country. In our 20-year history public acceptance and recognition has grown in acknowledging NCADD-Maryland as the State's preeminent treatment/recovery education, advocacy and public policy organization. We feel we are uniquely positioned to provide both a local and statewide perspective on issues related to alcoholism, drug dependence and barriers affecting treatment accessibility.
