Program services include drug and alcohol abuse education, drug testing, individual and group counseling in

EHSD refers clients for alcohol and drug recovery services following confirming substance abuse screening.
GA applicants with identified substance abuse problems participate in treatment services as a condition of GA
eligibility. Failure or refusal to comply with the treatment program may result in termination of aid and
sanctions. A three-part process identifies GA clients with potential substance abuse problems, confirms client
substance abuse problems through drug and alcohol professionals, and then channels those persons with
confirmed substance abuse problems to drug or alcohol recovery services. The contract limits services to GA
applicants specifically referred by EHSD.
