Hendersonville, NC Free Drug & Alcohol Addiction Assistance

First Contact Addiction Ministries provides free support services for addiction & recovery in Hendersonville NC, Henderson County, and Western North Carolina.

Substance abuse & addiction are serious issues, and they are increasing to epidemic proportions within our small, WNC communities. As the crisis grows, local government, hospitals & jails are ill-equipped to meet increased demands for crisis management & rehabilitation.

Every morning, thousands of people in Henderson County wake up to another day controlled by drug and alcohol addiction. For every one of them, an average of five other loved ones are suffering alongside, often in silence.

If you or a loved one are suffering with substance abuse disorders, we can help. We understand how difficult and confusing it can be to navigate the addiction and recovery process. That’s why we offer free education and guidance to assist you.

Our caring community of support is here for you. We provide encouragement and assistance for individuals & families suffering with the trauma associated with substance abuse disorders and addiction.
