History:
In 1974. in response to a deeply felt community need, a citizen study group recommended the formation of a local affiliate of the National Council on Alcoholism (NCA). In 1975 the Bucks County Council on Alcoholism received its State of Pennsylvania Charter from the Commonwealth. We have since changed our name to "Bucks County Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc." otherwise known as "The Council."
