Welcome to the Substance Abuse Services Division |
|
The mission of Danville-Pittsylvania Community Services' Substance Abuse Services Division is to establish and maintain an ongoing comprehensive system of services for substance abusers; their significant others; and those at risk for substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, and other infectious diseases. These services include, but are not limited to, Outpatient, Corrections, Schools, Community Outreach, and referrals to contractual organizations for emergency services, detoxification, and residential programs. Substance abuse is a critical problem with serious implications for the cognitive, physical, social, mental, and economic health of Danville and Pittsylvania County. Substance abuse occurs in varying degrees and requires a variety of levels of intensity, intervention, and treatment. Those who suffer directly or indirectly from substance abuse are entitled to the same attention afforded to those suffering from other serious diseases.
