HISTORY OF LIFESTEPS
The Williamson Council on Alcohol and Drugs was organized in
1978. Several concerned Williamson County residents saw the need
to assist fellow citizens of the county with problems related to
the use and abuse of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. Services
included education, substance abuse assessments and counseling.
As the needs of clients changed, services were expanded. The
agency took the name LifeSteps in 2001.
