Prevention Programs
The first line of defense against addiction is effective prevention services. Our programs are based in prevention science so we can provide the best possible outcomes. We also work with schools and community groups to assess and identify risks and improve prevention methods.
Treatment Services
At GCASA, we recognize that addiction is not a choice — it’s an illness. That’s why our approach to treatment is based on years of medical research for the best possible outcomes. Every individual and every situation is unique, and so are the treatment programs we offer.
Residential Care
Addicted individuals are desperately searching for a way to reclaim their lives. Often that road is long and lonely, but it doesn’t have to be. GCASA’s residential care programs provide care in a supportive environment to help individuals in recovery find a brighter, healthier future.
Royal Employer Services
As GCASA’s employee assistance program (EAP), Royal Employer Services helps companies and organizations tackle issues that can affect productivity. We offer stress relief education, grief counseling, conflict resolution workshops and more to help your team work at their best levels.
