There is a significant alcohol abuse problem in the United
States. The cost to the United States in health care, lost
productivity, employee absenteeism, insurance rates, etc. ,
exceeds $100 billion.
Contra Costa County has been in the forefront of developing
models for the provision of social detoxification, community
residential treatment and vocational programs for people
suffering from alcohol abuse. Our County has acted as a model
for establishing inter-agency and public-private cooperation in
the provision of prevention and treatment services to people who
suffer alcohol abuse.
For the past 20 years, Dave Brown provided extraordinary
leadership in the development of these model programs, all of
which continue to operate today to the betterment of our
community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors that
October 1, 1988, be set aside to commemorate Dave Brown, a very
special man whose leadership, love, guidance and inspiration
will last for many years to come in the programs he developed
and in the hearts of all who knew him.
