Hill Country Council On Alcohol And Drug Abuse

What Hill Country Council On Alcohol And Drug Abuse does

Hill Country Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (HCCADA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Kerrville, Texas, that delivers a continuum of substance use disorder services — prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery support — to the five-county Texas Hill Country core (Bandera, Gillespie, Kendall, Kerr, Medina) and, via Mental Health Awareness Training, to the 28 counties of Texas DSHS Region 8. Its core products span outpatient treatment (using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing), Recovery Support Services with peer recovery coaches, SASSI assessments and hair-follicle drug testing, court-ordered education (DWI Education/Intervention, Minor in Possession, Drug Offender Education, Victim Impact Panel), youth and adult prevention curricula (Positive Action, CBSG Youth Connection), Mental Health First Aid training, and free naloxone distribution. Operationally, HCCADA runs as an integrated service organization rather than a software platform: a single 11-50-person staff delivers in-person services at its Kerrville office and live-virtual classes via Zoom, supplemented by a reciprocal overflow arrangement with sister agency SACADA in San Antonio.

Revenue mechanics blend three streams: per-attendee class fees ($60-$250 per course, plus $80-$120 assessments), grants and state funding covering MHAT training, recovery support services, and the PADRE parent program, and donations. Customer segments are deliberately diversified — adults with SUD, court-mandated individuals, K-12 youth, first responders and school personnel, and employers/universities requiring drug testing — which spreads volume risk across mandates, voluntary treatment, and public-sector contracts.

Since February 2022, HCCADA has operated under the governance of the San Antonio Council on Alcohol and Drug Awareness (SACADA), which provides administrative, training, and back-office support while HCCADA maintains its regional identity and Texas Hill Country delivery footprint. The organization is licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services and certified to deliver TDLR-regulated court-ordered programs, with additional credentials including a Level 1 Trauma Informed Organization certification. Leadership is centered on CEO Abigail G. Moore, who since 2022 has overseen an operation whose historical budget growth (~400%) and tripling of staff under her broader tenure point to sustained institutional scaling.
