The agency offers a range of programs and services, including evaluations, treatment referrals, family interventions, education and prevention activities, relapse prevention, and professional development training, all aimed at addressing the addictive climate of the times. LICADD partners with community members and local institutions to educate and support those seeking help, with a focus on connecting people to appropriate treatment options and resources. The organization operates from New York state, maintains a long-standing philanthropic connection through the Christopher D. Smithers Foundation, and continues to serve as a resource for clinicians and the public alike, including through community events and outreach such as Narcan training collaborations.
