TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE COUNTY ALCOHOL AND DRUG
ABUSE AUTHORITIES CREATED BY ACT 301 OF 1973 FOR ITS FIFTY YEARS OF SERVICE TO
THE CITIZENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA AS PROVIDERS OF PREVENTION, INTERVENTION,
TREATMENT, AND RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES AND TO DECLARE TUESDAY, MARCH 28,
2023, AS "COMMUNITIES FOR RECOVERY DAY" IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, founded in
1973, the system of county alcohol and drug abuse authorities consists of
thirty-one agencies providing prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery
support services in all forty-six counties that are evidence-based and best
practice; and
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:
That the members of the
South Carolina House of Representatives,
by this resolution, recognize and commend the county alcohol and drug abuse
authorities created by Act 301 of 1973 for its fifty years of service to the
citizens of South Carolina as providers of prevention, intervention, treatment,
and recovery support services and declare Tuesday, March 28, 2023, as

Be it further resolved
that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Behavioral Health Services
Association of South Carolina, the membership organization of the county
alcohol and drug abuse authorities.
