Chapter 254 - SINGLE COUNTY AUTHORITIES
Section 254.1 - Statement of policy

Universal Citation: 4 PA Code ยง 254.1

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 38, September 21, 2024

(a) After careful research and study, the Council has determined that the problems of drug and alcohol abuse and dependence are community problems. It is the position of the Council that no central authority may determine precisely what services are necessary in each of the 67 counties of this Commonwealth. Consequently, the emphasis in this State Plan is on the establishment of community-based drug and alcohol prevention, intervention, and treatment services. Institutional services shall be phased out, as community services are developed and expanded.

(b) In order to carry out this basic policy of community involvement a system of Single County Authorities is hereby developed. Though the final authority remains within the Council this State Plan provides for the delegation of much of the authority provided in Act 63 to county agencies established in accordance with this State Plan.
