Costa
DATE: October 22, 1992 County
SUBJECT: Approval of the Five-Year Master Plan to Reduce Alcohol
and Other Drug Abuse in Contra Costa County
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the Health Services Director or his designee to submit to
the State Department of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Programs the County's
Five-Year Master Plan to combat alcohol and other drugs.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
SB 2599, signed into law in 1989, creates a Five-Year process at the
County and State levels which coordinates efforts to combat drug and
alcohol abuse among Social Social, Health, Education, and Law
Enforcement agencies. The overall intent of the statute is to
develop, over a five year period, a unified approach to the problems
of alcohol and drug abuse.
While the Master Plan seeks to develop a unified Statewide plan, it
allows each County flexibility and autonomy in defining its own
planning process. Contra Costa, unlike any other County in the
State, already has in place a highly developed, active, and
comprehensive substance abuse planning process: the Action Plan.
Therefore, the Master Plan Advisory Body decided that, while
complying with the mandates of SB 2599, for consistency in the
County's planning process, the Master Planning process should be a
subset of the Action Plan.
The Five-year Master Plan includes recommendations from County's
Social Service, Health Services, Education, and Law Enforcement
agencies, as well as information germane to the combining of Action
Plan and Master Plan activities.
