Greenwood Village Drug Abuse-Substance Abuse Therapy (GVDAT) was founded in 2007 with a simple yet powerful mission: to provide accurate, unbiased, and comprehensive information about drug abuse and substance use disorders. Recognizing the critical need for reliable resources, our founders set out to create a digital hub where individuals seeking support, families, and professionals could find credible answers and guidance.
