Welcome to one of the finest drug and alcohol treatment and prevention/education agencies in the United States. Since June 1, 1973, Wyoming Valley Alcohol and Drug Services, Inc. has been a beacon of hope for those suffering from addiction in Luzerne and Wyoming Counties, Pennsylvania. Nestled in the foothills of the Pocono Northeast, the agency has become widely known for its innovative, unique, and highly-effective programs, which place emphasis on patient and consumer access to services. The award-winning staff of highly-qualified professionals are certified in addiction treatment and prevention/education specialties and continue to enhance and augment not only their academic credentials, but also their professional skill development. The treatment staff has a combined 200-plus years of addiction treatment experience acquired at the agency, and the prevention/education staff has another 100-plus years of addiction-specific experience while employed at WVADS, Inc. The cornerstones of service to the community are dignified care, responsiveness to the ever-changing needs of the patient, family, and consumer, individualized attention, prompt access to the full spectrum of services offered, affordable care, confidentiality, and inclusion of family and significant others in all aspects of the delivery system. When you enter the portals of our agency, you can expect the very best from the highest trained cadre of staff that have your needs as their #1 priority.
Since 1973, WVADS, Inc. has been utilizing this slogan. We believe that the key ingredient in addressing addiction is to clearly understand what drives it, what sustains it, what fuels it. Addicts are good people with a bad disease. We enhance recovery and rehabilitation when we take the time to get to the “roots” of addiction. This is why WVADS, Inc. doesn’t only treat the individual; we treat the family. This is a family disease and, therefore, must be treated as such. If one wonders why our agency provides so many prevention and education services to schools and community, the answer is to increase and enhance understanding of just what addiction is. If we can get our arms around the problem first, then we can develop effective interventions and treatment programs that enhance patient recovery and outcomes.
That’s what WVADS, Inc. is all about!
