Family First Community Services, LLC was established in 2006 by three female professionals who are experienced and dedicated to serve children/families in the community. The driving force behind the development of this company was a vision to create a model community based program that would serve clients with Child/Adolescent Mental Health/Substance Abuse challenges in North Carolina. FFCS successfully obtained three (3) year National Accreditation by CARF International in September 2009. In 2010, we added Medication Management services and Substance Abuse Intensive Outpatient Program (SAIOP) for children/adolescent/adult populations.
