About Us.   
 Substance Abuse Services for Clayton County, Inc. is a private non-profit agency governed by a board of nine Clayton County, Iowa, residents and incorporated in the State of Iowa.  The agency is funded by state and county money along with donations and fees from municipalities, schools and individuals.
 
Substance Abuse Services for Clayton County, Inc. was founded in 1981 by a group of county citizens concerned about the problems of substance abuse.  Since this time we have remained locally based and operated, locally responsive and supportive.
 

Our Prevention Philosophy.
It is our philosophy that strong community leadership is necessary to build the momentum and to encourage community investment in the solution of its social and health problems.  This is particularly true in the struggle against substance abuse.  Our goal in prevention is to reduce the number and severity of problems associated with alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.  This is accomplished by opportunities to improve knowledge, social competency, and life skills.  Our responses are designed to meet the changing identifiable needs of individuals or groups at various times throughout their lives and with varying relationships to alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.

Our Mission.
"Our mission is to assist the residents of Clayton County, Iowa, to reduce the number and severity of problems associated with substance abuse."
