Find out how to help someone who may need treatment, who to call for a referral, and get screening and education materials.

Individuals are eligible for DASA-funded services if they are low-income or indigent, and are assessed as alcohol or other drug dependent.  For persons applying for treatment under the Alcohol and Drug Addiction Treatment and Support Act (ADATSA), eligibility is further restricted to those who are unemployable as a result of their alcohol or other drug addiction.  Treatment services are designed to maintain cost-effective and quality care for alcoholism and drug dependency.

County P-I-T-A Strategic Planning Guidelines

Counties develop 6-year Strategic Plans for the continuum of Prevention, Intervention, Treatment, and Aftercare (P-I-T-A) chemical dependency services.  Planning for the P-I-T-A continuum is the foundation of providing effective, relevant, and cost-effective prevention and treatment services.

Community Mobilization against Substance Abuse and Violence (CMASA) collaborated in developing these guidelines and has similar requirements, although there are some variations.  The guidelines contain both CMASA and DASA overall suggested guidelines for the strategic planning process and checklists of requirements specific to CMASA and DASA.

Updates to the current plans are required every two years until 2013.  In 2013 counties will develop new Strategic Plans.
