NCADD of Northwest Florida is uniquely positioned to deliver intervention, prevention, education, information, help and hope to our local communities.

Education, Information,

Help and Hope

 

Since 1944, the

National Council on Alcoholism

and Drug Dependence has been a leader in the effort to raise public awareness about alcoholism. As the oldest advocacy organization in the country addressing alcoholism and drug dependence, NCADD works at the national level on policy issues related to barriers in education, prevention and treatment for alcoholics and drug dependent persons and their families.

Marty Mann (1905-1980) founded NCADD

and dedicated her life to teaching the public that alcoholism is a preventable and treatable disease --

not a moral failing.

Mary Mann, right, hands an award to Bill Wilson

She articulated three fundamental

organizational concepts that have

informed the development of modern alcoholism treatment:

Alcoholism is a disease, and

the alcoholic is a sick person;

The alcoholic can be helped

and is worth helping;

This is a public health problem

and a public responsibility.
