Onondaga County's
Drug-Free Coalition!
A community partnership encouraging multi-strategy, multi-targeted substance abuse prevention.  Funded by the federal Drug-Free Community Support Program, administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, which supports community coalitions throughout the United States

The Syracuse/Onondaga Drug and Alcohol Abuse Commission, first established in the mid 1970s, is one of the oldest community anti-drug coalitions in the United States.  It has a long history in Onondaga County, New York, of establishing prevention programs, promoting initiatives, providing community education and working diligently to reduce substance use/abuse.  This coalition's present strategic framework integrates a traditional risk reduction approach with community asset-building to reduce youth and adult use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.

Commission's Mission Statement
 
Support existing coalitions comprised of prevention programs, services and initiatives in Syracuse, NY.
Assist collaborative efforts promoting prevention in Onondaga County, NY.
