Program Description

The Drug and Alcohol Program (D&A)  is comprised of two departments: Prevention and Case Management.

The Prevention Specialists provide educational and information on alcohol and drug use and abuse through literature, pamphlets, videos, consultations, and various in-service programs for all ages and groups in the Franklin and Fulton county areas.

Our Case Managers serve adolescents and adults of all ages from the Franklin and Fulton Counties. They conduct treatment assessments, and arrange for consumers to enter treatment facilities and after care for individuals.

The Intensive Case Management Program is a specialized program designed for certain clients who are dually diagnosed, those heavily involved with criminal justice system, those on child welfare, intravenous drug users, clients who continually relapse, pregnant women, and women with children. We adopt the Disease Concept of chemical dependency, which sees addiction as progressive and, if left untreated, as life-threatening.

Please contact us for additional information.
