Information and Referral
.............................................................................................................
Every month PCADD handles hundreds of telephone and walk-in inquiries from people in the community seeking information and assistance. We are a comprehensive resource providing referrals for a wide range of questions concerning addiction and recovery. Questions from the general public include where can we get treatment, how much will it cost, how can a family help a loved one stop drinking or using drugs?
Prevention and Outreach
.............................................................................................................
Providing prevention information and tools for coping without alcohol or drugs is an important service of PCADD. With education about addiction and support services for those at-risk individuals, families and communities are better able to prevent addictions’ negative impact on their lives. At resource fairs, community activities and events and upon request by local organizations, PCADD provides educational materials, speakers and consultations.
Other Programs
.............................................................................................................
PCADD operates the Employee Assistance Resource Network (EARN), an employee assistance program for local organizations and businesses. Through this service employees are given help with issues and situations improving their well-being as well as their ability to perform their job.
The Continuing Education Consortium is headquartered at the PCADD office. In collaboration with seven other non-profit agencies we plan and conduct low-cost workshops for professionals and others interested in the field of addiction and recovery.
The program is an affiliate of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence. The program is partially funded by the County of Los Angeles, Alcohol and Drug Program Administration and certified by the State of California.
