Our agency was designed as a multiple-functional, community based treatment center allowing for a variety of services. The Alcohol Drug Council-High Gain Project, is partially funded by Los Angeles County Alcohol & Drug Program Administration, offers a multitude of services, including our Community Based Alcohol Drug Outreach Project, "JumpStarts". Our site has been developed to help guide participants through a very difficult and often frightening time in their lives.
