Become A Volunteer

Volunteering Your Time:

Volunteers play an important role in the provision of service to ADSTV's clients. They enhance services and assist staff through their contributions and we believe clients, staff and volunteers all benefit from this interaction.

Volunteer involvement at ADSTV enables members of our community to acquire knowledge, learn new skills, provide role modeling and contribute to our community by helping others. Involving volunteers increases awareness and helps create a community-wide understanding of addictions in general.
