ABOUT US:
The Washington Drug and Alcohol Commission, Inc. (WDAC) became an independent non-profit corporation on July 1, 2002. As the Washington County Single County Authority (SCA), we directly contract with the Department of Health, Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Programs to provide a comprehensive system of quality substance abuse treatment, prevention, and intervention services to Washington County residents. Centrally located in the city of Washington, our agency houses an administrative and case management unit.
The administrative unit subcontracts all direct treatment, prevention, and intervention services to local providers. The SCA funds and monitors these agencies for appropriate fiscal and program accountability.
The case management unit is responsible for providing screening, assessments for treatment, referrals, and continued stay reviews for clients seeking treatment for problems related to the use of alcohol or other drugs.
All assessments for treatment are free.
Call 724-223-1181 to schedule an appointment Monday through Friday from 8:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. Preferential appointments are given to pregnant women, women with children and injecting drug users.
Funding for treatment is available for clients who are eligible for medical assistance, or who do not have private medical insurance. A sliding fee scale is used for clients who have an income, but are currently unable to pay for the cost of treatment.
A governing board of directors is responsible for the planning, coordination, and administration of funds for SCA drug and alcohol services. The board is comprised of community volunteers who recognize local needs regarding substance abuse. Board members must possess an interest in developing resources that will provide the community with the tools required to increase the probability of recovery for substance abusers. The board manages the property, affairs, and funds of the corporation as derived from the board by-laws, and it directs the work of the Executive Director.
