The USADD – GDA (greater Detroit area) has 70 years of experience serving people impacted by substance abuse, operating under the principle of Recovering with Dignity. There are three components of its service: prevention, treatment, and recovery.
Mr. Wade works in the area of prevention through S.T.E.P.S. (Strong Teens Excelling in Prevention Services). It accepts ages 12-16 and one can stay in the program through age 20. The goal is to prevent (or delay) the use of alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs. Studies show there is less a chance of addiction the later one starts “experimenting”. The system offers year-round programming, twice a week. It also offers summer internships with activities, such as lock-in events and school tours, and has a radio show on WMKM 1440. (Covid has obviously impacted what is available).
Individuals can find the NCADD’s services through social media or by contacting them directly by phone.
