Standing to Achieve New Direction (STAND) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that all community members have access to medical care. Their mission is to educate the community and address health disparities, and to renew and preserve families and the communities in which they reside. One of the core programs they offer is a Substance Abuse Intensive Outpatient Program. This program is available to adult men and women ages 18-65 who are in recovery for chemical dependence. They are eligible to receive treatment for substance abuse, as well as treatment for co-occuring disorders that contribute to chronic substance abuse. Another program, Project Connect Treatment, assists individuals who have need of long term therapeutic assistance to maintain sobriety. STAND believes strongly that addressing the underlying factors that contribute to substance abuse are essential to giving all community members the best chance at independent living.
