Substance Misuse
The Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Services (BDAS) supports a network of community partners to promote and deliver a wide range of substance misuse information, and resources to New Hampshire communities.
Help is Available
Support for Emotional, Mental, or Substance Misuse Crisis
BDAS serves as the NH Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) program that oversees the growth, improvement, and success of substance misuse services across the continuum of care. In part, BDAS accomplishes this by providing contract funding and oversight of various programs to promote and deliver substance misuse information, programs and services. In addition, we make technical assistance and training available to providers regardless of whether or not they are contracted with us.
BDAS also works to effect and implement policy in order to ensure the needs of the citizens are being met.
