How We Operate

ADHL is a nonprofit social service agency.  We receive funding from the King County Division of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services, and the Washington State Division of Alcohol and Substance Abuse.  We also receive donations from private organizations and individuals.

Our Staff

The ADHL staff consists of full-time employees who are experienced, professionally qualified and culturally diverse.  They are assisted by part-time employees and a trained, devoted corps of about 50 volunteers and some 25 volunteers-in-training.  ADHL has its own volunteer training program.
