BACKGROUND:
The mission of the Contra Costa County Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board is to assess family and community needs regarding treatment and prevention of alcohol and drug abuse problems. We report our findings and recommendations to the Contra Costa Health Services Department, the Board of Supervisors and the communities we serve. The Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board works in collaboration with the Alcohol and Other Drugs Services of Contra Costa Health Services. We provide input and recommendations as they pertain to alcohol and other drugs prevention, intervention, and treatment services.
Supervisor Gioia advertises his open advisory body seats in numerous ways including through his website, eblasts, and newsletters, as well as with the traditional media.
