California Hispanic Comission

Established in 1975 in order to reduce alcohol abuse and dependency amongst Latino males in Central California, the California Hispanic Commission quickly expanded its service offerings to address the needs of multiple-risk populations throughout the State.

Uniquely cognizant of the fact that the genesis of substance abuse disorders is often located within biochemical and genetic factors; familial circumstances; psychological dynamics, and within the realm of the environmental and the sociocultural, CHCADA is a private, nonprofi t community-based organization that has always sought to address both the antecedents and the secondary effects of substance abuse and dependency through the use of comprehensive interdisciplinary services
