Whereas, South Carolina has more than 451,000 individuals in need of treatment services, and the county alcohol and drug abuse authorities are dedicated to engaging those to support recovery; and
Whereas, addiction is a complex disease that requires complex interventions with the help of multiple people to help those in need to engage in treatment and sustain recovery; and
Whereas, the county alcohol and drug abuse authorities engage in local partnerships to expand the reach of engagement into confidential treatment and recovery support services; and
Whereas, over the past fifty years, the county alcohol and drug abuse authorities have provided countless prevention and treatment services to individuals and their families suffering from substance-use disorders in the State of South Carolina; and
Whereas, the county alcohol and drug abuse authorities provide services of withdrawal management, as well as residential, intensive outpatient, outpatient, prevention, intervention, and recovery support services; and
Whereas, the county alcohol and drug abuse authorities are contracted through the South Carolina Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services to provide services to those most in need, including underserved and underinsured individuals in South Carolina; and
Whereas, the county alcohol and drug abuse authorities employ licensed and credentialed staff in an agency that is state-licensed and nationally accredited through the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Services and the Joint Commission. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
