Program Presentation Draft Most will tend to agree that alcoholism, drug abuse and public assistance have reached epidemic proportions. In fact, substance abuse is widely accepted as one of the greatest contributing factors in the cause of individuals to experience the dual reliance of welfare dependency and drug dependency as a way of life. Not everyone on welfare rolls are chemically dependent. However,the percentages are high enough that any attempt at welfare reform or a movement toward self-sufficiency must include treatment of chemical dependency as a primary goal. Today, we are pleased to acknowledge individuals who have begun the process of addressing the fundamental lifestyle changes that inevitably will lead to self-sufficiency.
