ADM System Values

• We believe that mental illness and addictions are treatable diseases.
  
• We believe that people must participate in their own care, but that the system shares responsibility.
  
• We believe that the community has a responsibility to provide a comprehensive array of mental health and addiction services for ALL who need them.
  
• We believe that it is no longer enough to be able to talk about what we do without being able to identify accurately the results of what we do.
  
• We believe that cooperation between the ADM board , the contract agencies, local state and federal government, and the community is essential to adequate services for people in need.
