The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence of the San Fernando Valley (NCADD-SFV) is a nonprofit community-based outpatient treatment center located in Van Nuys. Our goal is to aid in the active development of a community based prevention and educational process designed to modify social and economic patterns related to alcohol and other drug use within the community, promoting healthful behaviors, decisions and environments that will reduce or eliminate the problematic use of alcohol and other drugs.

Founded in the early 1970’s, the organization is dedicated to providing multiple levels of substance-use disorder (SUD) outpatient treatment services to those in need of recovery, as well as education and prevention services to schools and the community regarding the disease of alcoholism and drug dependence/abuse and the negative effects abuse /addiction has on the individual, their family, and their community.
