The Intake Social Worker is available during hours of operation, Monday through Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm to talk with any individual who either comes into the unit with questions or calls on the phone. The Adult Service Unit Social Workers are very knowledgeable about not only services provided directly by the Adult Service Unit but those of other community agencies.

The Adult Service Unit makes numerous referrals to other agencies as we work cooperatively to provide services to meet the needs of Buncombe County's residents.
