SPECIFIC REQUEST (S) OR RECOMMENDATION (S) &BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION
1. Recommendation:

to explore the possibility of, and make recommendations on, the implementing of one
consolidated point of entry for youth alcohol and other drug treatment services and REFER to
the Family and Human Services Committee.
11. financialImpact:
None. Possible future cost savings.
III. Discussion / Background:
Currently, referrals for youth alcohol and other drug treatment are made through several
points of entry within the County system, The Health Services Department provides services
through the Alcohol and Other Drugs Services Division. The Probation Department refers
youth as requested by the Courts, and the Employment and Human Services Department
refers youth through the various programs they administer. Due to these different entry
points, the assessments of services needed are made in different settings. There may be
possible cost savings and service enhancements available if there was a single point of entry
similar to the Alcohol and Other Drug Services Access program provided to adults.
