Our Vision:

       

        A Substance Abuse-Free Sumter

 

The Sumter County Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse is divided into 4 main areas of concentration.

à Prevention, which offers outdoor adventure, in-school prevention programs, community prevention, and women’s issues education.

à Alternative Services, which offers the Alcohol, Drug, and Safety Action Program (ADSAP); Pre-Trial Intervention (PTI); Probation, Parole, and Pardons (PPP) program; and the Court Program.

à Treatment, which offers day and night programs, HIV/AIDS education,  an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and Intensive Family Services (IFS).

à Residential, which offers a six bed social setting detoxification center (The Freedom House) and a halfway house for those between institutional living and a return to society (The Liberty House).

Alcohol and other drug abuse is one of history’s oldest problems. Each day, thousands of people try alcohol or other drugs for the first time. The results range from personal, work and family problems to criminal behavior, automobile accidents, homicide and suicide.

Established in 1973, the Sumter Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (Sumter CADA) specializes in the prevention, intervention and treatment of drug related problems. Advisory groups, interagency councils and surveys help the Commission to identify the needs of the Sumter community. The Board of Directors of the Sumter CADA (appointed by Sumter County Council) helps the Commission to achieve this goal and provide quality service.

The Commission’s vision is to bring about a substance abuse-free Sumter.

The Administrative Offices, Intervention, and Alternative Services Division of the Sumter Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse are housed on the third floor of the Sumter County Building at 115 North Harvin Street. Commission facilities are located in various parts of the city, increasing accessibility and making possible a wide range of services.
