BACKGROUND*
Bi-Bett Corporation provides nonresidential drug and alcohol recovery services for General Assistance (GA)
recipients with substance abuse problems in a substance-free environment. Services include drug and alcohol
abuse education, drug testing, individual and group counseling, substance abuse screening and confirmation,
and referral to countywide alcohol and drug recovery services. GA applicants and recipients identified as
having substance abuse problems and referred by the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) are
required to participate in drug or alcohol treatment services as a condition of GA eligibility and continued GA
aid and sanctions. Instruction and counseling on the physical, mental, emotional, and environmental/social
aspects of alcohol and drug problems helps reduce the impact of substance abuse and assists participants to
overcome barriers to self-sufficiency. Culturally sensitive programs are developed for special populations
under the Americans Disability Act. The drug and alcohol recovery services are ongoing and provided
countywide to EHSD GA recipients. (#21-270-12)
