Purpose
Is to serve as an advocate for a comprehensive substance abuse prevention, intervention, and treatment system for persons of all ages affected by the use or abuse of addictive substances. It will review needs and assist in determining priorities.
Duties
On May 11, 2004 Governor Ehrlich signed into law the requirement for each County in the State of Maryland to establish a local Alcohol and Drug Abuse Council to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of substance abuse prevention, intervention and treatment services. The law was designed to improve links between the criminal justice system and substance abuse treatment services, as well as increase diversion from prosecution and alternatives to incarceration for low level, non-violent offenders.
