The Armstrong-Indiana Drug and Alcohol Commission is the designated Single County Authority (SCA) for drug and alcohol services in Armstrong and Indiana counties in the state of Pennsylvania.
Since 1973, the Armstrong-Indiana Drug & Alcohol Commission, Inc. has been the designated Single County Authority (SCA) for drug and alcohol services in Armstrong and Indiana counties. As such, the Commission receives, administers, and allocates state and federal drug and alcohol funds targeted for this two county area.
The Commission is also responsible for assessing needs, planning, developing, coordinating programming to meet these drug and alcohol service needs and then monitoring and reviewing the outcome of these interventions. The Commission targets four core drug and alcohol service areas:
Direct services are provided through contracts with state licensed agencies. Case management services are provided through the Commission's contract with the Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Programs. Services are available to all Armstrong and Indiana County residents regardless of their ability to pay.
The Case Management Unit provides two functions – Screening & Assessment to determine level of care and referral to treatment and Intensive Case Management services to assist client in reaching goals in other areas of life (i.e. housing, transportation).
Prevention services are delivered to the community through various means such as; public awareness campaigns, education in the school and community, ATOD free events, and community partnerships.
The Armstrong-Indiana Drug Free Communities Coalition (DFCC) is the leading organization bringing together all the community sectors to create a safe, healthy and drug free environment in the two counties for our youth and families.
The mission of the Tobacco Free Program is to reduce the chronic desease burden of tobacco use through prevention, education, and cessation programming in the schools and the community.
Picture what your community would look like if there were no drugs. Focus. Zoom in. Frame it. Now capture that image with a photo.
That’s what the Armstrong-Indiana Drug Free Community Coalition, in partnership with the Armstrong-Indiana Drug and Alcohol Commission, asked Armstrong and Indiana county residents to do at a kickoff Wednesday for its “Picture Your Community Drug Free” photo contest.
There are many opportunities to help your community become Drug Free.
