Welcome to the Gratiot County Substance Abuse Coalition (GCSAC) website. GCSAC is a collaborative countywide decision-making body of community members that convenes monthly to address the issue of substance abuse prevention needs for Gratiot County.
About our Coalition
GCSAC was founded by the Gratiot Collaborative Council in 2005 to help address the need for substance abuse prevention services in Gratiot County. Since that time, the coalition has gathered additional information about the nature of the problem of substance use and abuse in Gratiot County and developed programs and services to help address the need.
