Washington Drug & Alcohol Commission

What Washington Drug & Alcohol Commission does

Washington Drug & Alcohol Commission, Inc. (WDAC) is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that operates as the Single County Authority (SCA) for Washington County, Pennsylvania, providing drug and alcohol intervention, prevention, and treatment services to county residents. It is headquartered at 90 W Chestnut Street, Suite 310, in Washington, PA, and operates from a staff base of 11–50 employees under the governance of a nine-member Board of Directors. Its service portfolio comprises a Center of Excellence (WDACOE) for Opioid Use Disorder with a 24/7 hotline, the WDAC Recovery Center drop-in facility, school-based prevention curricula, county-wide screening and case management, criminal-justice-linked Treatment Courts and a Diversion Program, a Certified Recovery Specialist peer-support service, a 19+ site Prescription Drug Take Back Program, and a free Narcan mail-order program.

Underlying service delivery relies on a whole-person integrated care model that coordinates treatment with non-clinical supports (housing, transportation, employment, childcare) through community-based care management teams and peer navigators, backed by a contracted network of 20+ licensed treatment providers across Pennsylvania and Ohio and 17+ recovery houses. Technology infrastructure is deliberately lightweight: a HIPAA-compliant web intake and Narcan request form, SurveyMonkey for community research, and a Webflow-hosted content site; there is no proprietary software platform, AI/ML capability, or API exposure. Technology differentiation is procedural and regulatory — multi-agency coordination workflows, evidence-based curricula (PYPM, Too Good for Drugs, Operation Prevention), and standardized diversion/treatment-court processes — rather than software-based.

Revenue is overwhelmingly grant-funded: WDAC's core stream is government funding as the designated SCA for Washington County, supplemented by Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) funding for Treatment Courts. Participant fees are nominal and ancillary — a $20 fee for the Intervention Program and a $150–$500 sliding-scale fee (with $50 deposit) for the three-month Diversion Program — and most prevention, screening, assessment, and case management services are provided free of charge, with WDAC explicitly serving as the agency of last resort for uninsured residents. Customer concentration is structurally Critical, with the Washington County government as the de facto sole institutional funder.
