Vision, Mission and Logo
Vision
The Vision of NCADD is:
- To share the joy and knowledge of recovery;
- To break down barriers of ignorance, stigma and discrimination;
- To encourage individuals, families, companies and communities to seek help.
Mission
The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. (NCADD)
and its Affiliate Network is a voluntary health organization
dedicated to fighting the Nation’s #1 health problem – alcoholism, drug addiction
and the devastating consequences of alcohol and other drugs
on individuals, families and communities.
NCADD Logo: a Symbol of Help and Hope

The NCADD logo combines the medical caduceus (health) and a key (to unlock the doors of understanding). The wings represent the wings of the Phoenix, the mythical bird which, like so many persons in recovery from the disease of alcoholism and drug addiction, rose again from the ashes of its own destruction.
Our logo represents the Key to Recovery: Education and Understanding.
