The Drug & Alcohol Division is a County office responsible for the provision of prevention, education, treatment and case management for those impacted by addiction. The majority of direct services are made available to the public through contracts with community service providers. The objectives are to raise public awareness of the dangers of alcohol abuse, drug abuse and problem gambling, and to offer resources to arrest the disease of addiction.
