What services are available? The County can assist residents with an alcohol/drug abuse health assessment process (also known as Rule 25), which consists of:
- A chemical dependency/drug evaluation
- A determination of the need for chemical dependency/drug treatment
If the assessment recommends chemical dependency/drug treatment, funding for treatment, through the Consolidated Chemical Dependency Treatment Fund (CCDTF) may be available. CCDTF is a funding source of last resort, and other options for payment must first be explored.
