The Council  on Alcoholism & Drug Abuse of Sullivan County, Inc., also known as The Recovery Center, is a not-for-profit community-based agency whose mission is to work with all sectors of the community towards the PREVENTION, INTERVENTION & TREATMENT of alcohol, tobacco, other drug and gambling problems, and related issues.

The Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse of Sullivan County, Inc. was organized in 1977 to provide information, education and consultation to Sullivan County residents whose lives were affected by the problems of alcoholism and other drug addiction.  In response to the need for a continuum of effective treatment services, in 1985 the Council began operating the Recovery Center.  Services included a 16-bed Primary Care Unit, a 30-bed Halfway House and a Day Rehabilitation Program.

Over the years, other necessary and sought-after services were designed and developed for our clients, including: an Outpatient Clinic; Family Programs, i.e. Strengthening Families; the Safe Summer Camp and Camp Getaway Programs; Community Education; Prevention and Training; a Gambling Assessment & Counseling Program; and HIV/AIDS Outreach.

"Never forget that we deal with human beings, that our first responsibility is to help each of them, individually.  We must not become so fascinated with long-range goals that we forget our prime and immediate obligation is to people."

      The NFL Super Bowl is known for its commercials almost as much as it is for the game itself. Of that wide viewing audience, about 18% will be youth under 21. If your chils is one of them, he or she will be exposed to alcohol advertising.
       More than 35,000 middle and high school students in 42 states participated in Drug-Free Action Alliance Big Bowl 2011, which once again revealed the youth appeal of alcohol advertising as beer commercials were the second "most memorable" commercials among middle and high school students. Studies show that themore exposure youth ahve to alcohol in advertising, themore likely they are to consume alcohol underage.
      In the quest to further research the impact of advertising on youth, we invite you to participate in the Drug-Free Action Alliance Big Bowl Vote in 2012.
       Through a simple, three-question, student questionnaire high school students share their thoughts on what advertisments they remember seeing and which commercial takes their top vote. This valuable, fresh and local information can then be used to educate parents, srudents, lawmakers and the media about the effects of alcohol advertising on youth.
