The South African National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence |
|
| |
(SANCA) is a non-governmental organisation whose major objectives
are |
|
| |
the prevention and treatment of Alcohol and Drug Dependence. The
first |
|
| |
of these objectives is mainly achieved through the provision of
treatment |
|
| |
services for chemically dependent people and their families |
|
| |
|
|
| |
(Chemical dependence is an umbrella term used to describe both |
|
| |
alcoholism and drug dependence) |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Established in 1956, SANCA came into existence in response to a need
expressed by communities for |
|
| |
assistance to deal with alcohol and other drug problems in their
midst |
|
| |
|
|
| |
SANCA is a national umbrella organisation consisting of 31 Alcohol
and Drug Help Centres, providing |
|
| |
over 39 service points \ satellite offices in all the nine provinces
of South Africa. Each Alcohol and Drug |
|
| |
Help Centre functions independently, but is affiliated to SANCA |
