COUNCIL ON ALCOHOL & DRUG ABUSE FOR GREATER NEW ORLEANS

Council on Alcohol & Drug Abuse for Greater New Orleans delivers targeted individual and family support services focused on substance use disorder intervention, employee assistance, and community-based behavioral health outreach. Their core capabilities center on designing and implementing evidence-based counseling programs, crisis intervention protocols, and wraparound services for at-risk populations, particularly within veteran and underserved communities. The organization leverages trauma-informed care frameworks, case management systems, and referral networks to connect clients with long-term recovery resources, mental health counseling, and social services. Their specialization lies in integrating clinical best practices with localized community engagement, ensuring culturally competent and accessible care delivery in high-need urban environments. The contractor has demonstrated direct experience supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs, providing Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services tailored to veteran populations through the New Orleans Regional Office. Their work aligns with VA’s mission to enhance veteran well-being through confidential, voluntary behavioral health support, including substance abuse screening, peer counseling, and coordination with VA medical and vocational services. This partnership reflects a focused, mission-aligned relationship centered on improving veteran resilience and reducing barriers to treatment. Their primary industry focus is under NAICS 624190, which encompasses non-medical individual and family services aimed at social support, crisis mitigation, and behavioral health stabilization. They operate within the behavioral health services vertical, specializing in community-based addiction recovery infrastructure rather than clinical treatment facilities. This positions them as a niche provider bridging public health initiatives with direct client engagement in regional recovery ecosystems. As a Louisiana-based nonprofit entity with an 8H designation, the organization operates as a small, community-rooted provider with deep local ties. While lacking formal government certifications beyond its entity structure, its operational model emphasizes grassroots outreach, partnerships with local health departments, and alignment with federal behavioral health funding streams. Their geographic presence is concentrated in the Greater New Orleans region, where they serve as a critical access point for federally supported social services.
