History
Mission Council on Alcohol Abuse for the Spanish
Speaking was created in 1978 to provide drug and alcohol outpatient
counseling services to individuals and families living in San Francisco Bay
Area.
Our services have been completely bilingual while maintaining a
culturally relevant setting. We service clients from all socio-economical
backgrounds and are committed to issues address: i.e. drug and alcohol abuse
and its effect on life and families, self-esteem, harm reduction, relapse
prevention, aftercare counseling, to allow the individual a functional place in
his/her community.
Our Pledge and Mission
Mission Council on Alcohol Abuse for the Spanish Speaking, a non-profit organization, has been committed to the prevention and treatment of alcohol and other drug-related problems for individuals, families and groups of underserved members of San Francisco communities by providing leadership and community care needs in a culturally relevant setting.
Philosophy
Our philosophy is that all human beings have the
capacity to order and manage their lives as well as their environment. The use
and abuse of alcohol and other drugs seriously affect this capacity. The
restoration of said capability to the individual and the community in general
is our main objective.
