🐢 Happy National Dog Day from one of ADAC's mascots, Pete (Prevent Edible Toxicity Everyday)! 🐢

ADAC mascots Pete and Liu (Lock It Up) serve as a reminder to practice safety with Cannabis Edibles, especially the ones that can be mistaken for candy by kids and pets! Store cannabis products out of reach of children, the same way you would alcohol.

Our Story

The Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Council (ADAC) is in the business of providing hope. Formed in 1972 by concerned community members as a voluntary, non-profit membership organization, ADAC was established as a full time, professionally staffed organization in 1986. Our purpose remains true to its roots: to educate the public about alcohol and substance use disorders as treatable diseases that effect individuals, families and communities, advocating on behalf of people with substance use disorder, and preventing the initiation and use of substances by youth and misuse by adults through education and information dissemination. We provide services throughout Orange County for: information and referrals to treatment, intervention services, recovery coaching, STOP DWI & Traffic Safety Programs, family support navigation services, Treatment Alternative for Safer Communities (TASK) Program, community and school based prevention, the Mid-Hudson Prevention Resource Center and The School of Addiction Studies: CASAC and Recovery Coach Training.
