The Carbon-Monroe-Pike Drug and Alcohol Commission believes in a comprehensive, supportive and effective approach in dealing with substance use disorders in our society. Our philosophy is based on the concept that substance use disorder is a disease characterized by the repetitive and compulsive ingestion of any mood altering substance which impacts the individual’s health, marital status, career, interpersonal relationships and societal adaptations. The Commission is committed to providing awareness and access to prevention, intervention, education and treatment services in our communities to help those affected by substance use disorders obtain the support necessary to achieve a better quality of life.
