Community Counseling Center Vision and Mission Statement

It is the mission of the Community Counseling Center to provide high quality outpatient and residential care for low and no income community members suffering from substance abuse and to provide assistance for their families. The Center strives to promote the health and welfare of the individual, family, and community through a comprehensive continuum of substance abuse and other related wellness services. The Carson City area, including Douglas and Storey County, is the primary target of agency resources and programs.

Community Counseling Center's programs represent a continuum of treatment services. Programs include assessment, residential treatment, intensive outpatient, outpatient, transitional care, continuing care, aftercare, and relapse prevention. These are all part of a cohesive map of services that enable Community Counseling Center to treat each client according to his/her individual needs.

Community Counseling Center's services and programs are client driven and community oriented. The agency seeks to balance the needs of the client, referral sources, community entities, and staff. The organization's overall driving philosophy is to establish people and their various needs as the most important aspect of Community Counseling Center's mission. People come before anything else. Agency employees and consultants treat clients and the public with respect and in a professional manner. This is the cornerstone for the quality of services provided.

Among its employees, Community Counseling Center strives for cohesive teamwork. The organization's employees and consultants are an empathic team of service providers who are committed to working with a wide spectrum of people. Community Counseling Center strives to reach and provide relevant services to a population that represents a panorama of differences and diversity.

Community Counseling Center believes that substance abuse is a progressive disease that, if left untreated, can result in a worsening of the condition and, eventually, death. Each prospective client deserves access to treatment and to be treated with respect and dignity.

Finally, Community Counseling Center's Board, management and staff maintain a visionary viewpoint that is responsive to changing needs of the community. Community Counseling Center is committed to a planning process that keeps the agency up to date with and responsive to local, statewide and national needs and trends.
