Our mission is to build resilience and prevent substance misuse across Western North Carolina

Mountain Strong is not a crisis center. If you’re thinking about suicide, are worried about a friend or loved one, or would like emotional support, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7.

The Continuum of Care
The Continuum of Care (a model created by the Institute of Medicine) helps us understand there are many ways to reduce problems with substance use, and they are all important. The different kinds of programs and services along the continuum can help people live healthier, happier lives, whatever their circumstances.
