A combined effort of Charlestown Against Drugs (CHAD) and the Charlestown Substance Abuse Coalition (CSAC), this web site is designed to provide Charlestown residents with information and resources to lead healthy, productive lives through prevention, intervention, and treatment of alcohol and substance abuse.

It is through awareness and commitment that our individual and collective efforts will have an impact on the problem of substance abuse in our community.

We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make, which over time, add up to big differences that we cannot foresee.
-Marian Wright Edelman
