This is achieved through an expansive network of evidence-based services that prevent problems with alcohol and other drugs before they occur, intervene when they do and promote recovery for people already addicted. For 66 years, The Council has developed relationships and connections positively affecting community dialogue, resource sharing, community development and evidence-based solutions to the #1 preventable health problem in the United States substance abuse. The Council s work has received accolades and awards, coverage by national publications, and inclusion in the Congressional Record. But most importantly, since opening its doors in 1946, millions of North Texans have been reached, changed and/or saved. Last year alone, The Council trained or directly served 43,667 people and provided resources/materials for another 148,235 people. This is due to donations, sponsorships and support of local community members, foundations, organizations and companies.
