Additionally, they offer alternatives to peer pressure. Lastly, they develop across the board awareness about the impact of drug abuse.
The mission of the SAS is to integrate the various community efforts and make them competent, as well as culturally and linguistically relevant to the needs of residents in the country.

Essentially, they aim to foster recovery and wellness, address disparities, and build hope by offering treatment that is based on the individual strengths of those who require detox or rehab treatment for substance abuse problems.
