The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence of Middlesex County, Inc. (NCADD of Middlesex), Inc. has announced a corporate name change to The Wellness Center for Prevention.
Since 1980, NCADD/Wellspring has been providing a wide range of services that feature professional development courses for addiction counselors, prevention specialists, school faculty and school staff; educational services and support to those who need assistance confronting the disease of alcoholism and drug dependence in the form of information, guidance or referral; services focused on prevention and the wellbeing of young people in the community; and efforts designed to reduce substance use, especially among youth.
The NCADD name created confusion as to whether the organization is national or limited to Middlesex County; one of NCADD’s primary functions is prevention, which is not reflected in the name; and, the NCADD logo is not representative of the agency and what it does.
The new tagline represents the agency’s commitment to “Promoting Healthy Living through Education, Training and Advocacy,” according to Board of Trustees President Jeff Jannarone.
Wellspring Center for Prevention is located at 152 Tices Lane, East Brunswick.
