About NCADD Phoenix

NCADD’s goals are to support women and their children through substance abuse treatment, to educate the community on substance abuse, to advocate for substance abuse funding and to help reduce the stigma of addiction. NCADD has been serving the Greater Metropolitan Phoenix area since 1960. In 1999, NCADD began the development of a long-term outpatient program for women and built on the program by adding additional services including transportation, child care and food. To continue to meet the client needs, NCADD added a Nurse Practitioner to assess and medication management of clients with mental illness issues, a volunteer Psychologist and Licensed Vocational Counselor. In 2003, Weldon House was opened, providing each family with a 2 bedroom apartment (a home) where they can learn to be a family and where children have the opportunity to live normal and stable lives. In July 2007, NCADD opened Healthy Connections. The name was chosen to promote hope, not judgment.
