ALCOHOL & DRUG PROGRAM
The 2nd District is committed to ensuring that quality Alcohol & Drug (A&D) Program treatment provider agencies are serving our constituents for A&D related services in our district. Along with the usual social and cultural issues, the ongoing economic recession is contributing to the rising rates of alcohol and drug related challenges and disorders, in particular among the economically disadvantaged communities in our district. In addition, the upcoming Health Reform mandates that addiction treatment is fully blended with primary care and other medical services.
As treatment for A&D evolves, we recognize the need for resources and current information that is vital to providing the most effective treatment to those in need. Agencies in the 2nd District must be prepared to increase access to services, promote utilization of services, strengthen the quality of addiction treatment services and provide ongoing support services to individuals to help maintain a stable recovery. With the inevitable Health Reform, our agencies can capitalize on new opportunities, promote early case findings, provide more capacity for chronic care, increase treatment capacity and reduce the stigma of addiction. With preparation, the agencies in the 2nd District can provide addiction treatment that is the facet of health care in Los Angeles County.
