TRIAD Addiction Recovery Services was established in 1976 as TRIAD Ministry, Inc by the then-rector of Wilmington’s Trinity Episcopal Church and a recovering alcoholic parishioner. They are independent non-profit addiction counseling and recovery center located in Wilmington, Delaware. It was created as a ministry of the church as a center where those striving with alcoholism could come for help at a time when few other resources were available in the community.
In 2013 TRIAD filed for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status and became an individual non-profit organization. It recruited a volunteer Board of Directors which developed a strategic plan to guide the future of the organization. This involved growing the counseling program, developing a network of referral partners in the recovery community, creating a program of educational seminars, and developing a plan for funding the organization.
Their mission is to provide free counseling, referral, and education services to individuals and their families who are affected by addiction. Addiction is a treatable disease, and they advocate a compassionate and confidential recovery process that restores people to freedom and health.
