Citizens Advisory Council on Alcoholism and Drug Addiction

Who We Are

The statue under which the Citizens Advisory Council (CAC) on Alcoholism and Drug Addiction operates requires that it be composed of not less than seven nor more than 15 members.  The Council is mandated to be broadly representative of citizens who have been recipients of treatment for alcoholism or other drug addiction and who have been in recovery from chemical dependency for a minimum of two years.  At least two-thirds of the Council's members should be former recipients of treatment and not be employed in any occupation related to chemical dependency.  The remaining members are to be chosen for their demonstrated concern with alcoholism and drug addiction, and drawn from the business, organized labor, judiciary, and minority communities.  

CAC Mission Statement

We are dedicated volunteer advocates who advise and recommend to the Department of Social and Health Services rules, policies, and programs for residents of Washington State that will benefit: individuals and their families with alcoholism/addictions; families and individuals in high risk environments; and the larger community.
