Overview

Community Bridges is dedicated to providing community building services to the mainstream public through our education efforts and quality treatment for substance use disorders for men and women. We believe addiction is a disease that carries tremendous consequences for individuals, families, the workplace, and the community as a whole and that prevention and treatment are the keys to combating substance abuse.

Community Bridges was incorporated as the East Valley Alcoholism Council (EVAC), a non-profit agency, in 1982 for the purpose of providing a comprehensive community chemical dependency network in the East Valley. In 2002 we changed our name to Community Bridges and expanded our mission to assisting homeless, indigent, and working poor men and women from all areas of Maricopa, Pinal, and Gila counties who are in need of medical detoxification and other substance abuse related prevention, education, and treatment services. Community Bridges provides these services without regard to race, creed, gender, ethnicity, physical limitations, or the individuals’ ability to pay.
