The ACCA is a nonprofit corporation committed to community based alcoholism and other chemical dependencies education, prevention, treatment, and recovery activities in the Capital Region. Inspired almost 40 years ago, our Council continues to search for new and innovative ways to serve the community.

ACCA is a private, nonprofit corporation, whose Board and staff are committed to providing high quality, comprehensive treatment, housing, intervention and education to those who suffer from alcoholism and other chemical dependencies.

Distinct, yet closely allied in providing a continuum of care and services, the ACCA's programs serve all residents in the Capital District, irrespective of color, age, sexual orientation, creed, criminal justice record, or ability to pay. The ACCA programs provide crisis intervention and detox services, clinical services, group counseling, short and long term housing programs and prevention and training opportunities for all who suffer from addictions and their families. All programs work to improve the quality of life through treatment and education so that addicts and their families will become healthy happy members of the community. The ACCA staff and Board of Directors believe that providing compassionate, successful treatment, housing, and educational modules for addicts and their families will break the stigma that often prevents addicts from receiving the help they need to recover. The Board of Directors is committed to providing a supportive and professional work environment, for staff, in conjunction with the highest standards of accountability. A strong affiliation and belief in 12 Step Programs is part of the continuum for care that is delivered in community-based services.
