The Addiction Services Unit coordinates services for County residents seeking help for substance abuse issues
The Components of Coordination:
A. Comprehensive Countywide Needs Assessment and Service Delivery Planning services are based on the Needs Assessment Results and are developed to address the full continuum or addiction service needs in four major categories: Prevention, Intervention, Treatment, Recovery support
B. Grass Roots Alcohol; Tobacco; Other Drugs Prevention Needs Assessment Program delivery specific to each Municipality through Countywide Coordination of 20 Municipal Alliance Committees for Prevention Service
The Board of Chosen Freeholders appoints members to the LACADA (Local Advisory Committee on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse) a Volunteer Board of 10 to 16 members who oversee the efforts of the County needs assessment and our service delivery system. LACADA members provide input/recommendation on recovery service delivery based on the assessment of county needs and/or the LACADA members’ insights through their own experience with recovery and/or their interest and knowledge of stakeholder concerns. In making recommendations the LACADA also utilizes analysis of various industry reports and outcome studies as applicable and is assisted with their efforts by two subcommittees: 1. CASS (County Alliance Steering Subcommittee for the Municipal Alliance Prevention Program)
2. PACADA (Provider’s Advisory Committee on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse) Funding for the Addiction Services provided are primarily from Two (2) State Grant funding sources as follows:
The NJ Department of Human Services, Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services for Comprehensive Countywide Services The NJ Governor’s Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse for the Municipal Alliance Prevention Programs.
