The Pierce County Alliance is a private, non-profit, social service agency organized to deliver a wide range of services through innovative and cost-effective programs. Originally incorporated in 1972 as "The Pierce County Drug Alliance" to coordinate local drug treatment services, the name was changed in 1981 to reflect a broader range of programs undertaken by the agency. As the Alliance expanded to better respond to community needs and the multi-faceted issues of substance abuse, mental health, and at-risk youth, it earned a reputation for innovation and organizational effectiveness.

The Alliance currently operates several major programs, including drug and alcohol treatment for adults and adolescents, foster home licensing and support, family counseling, and mental health therapy.

Its treatment program, PROMETA addiction treatment, provides an innovative approach to the treatment of cocaine and methamphetamine dependence. The protocol complements the traditional 12-step, psychosocial therapy regimen used in the treatment of cocaine and methamphetamine dependency. PROMETA is designed to help reduce the cravings and anxiety associated with withdrawal and abstinence. PROMETA also addresses nutritional deficits common in substance dependence.

Based on a 2006 pilot program, which delivered exceptionally positive treatment outcomes, the Pierce County Alliance is now offering the PROMETA protocol to patients throughout Washington State for the treatment of methamphetamine and cocaine dependence.
