LEGISLATIVE BREAKFAST 2007

     The Region II Consortium of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Providers is an organization of prevention and  treatment agencies dedicated to the reduction and elimination of alcoholism and drug abuse throughout the Finger Lakes 12 county region.

     This Consortium meets on a monthly basis to discuss programmatic issues, administrative issues, and to advocate for the rights and needs of those who are chemically dependent.

     The premise upon which Region II CASAS stands is as follows: all individuals and families who are affected by alcoholism or other drug dependency have a right to prevention and treatment services to include: a right to treatment upon demand and a right to the level of treatment and length of  treatment appropriate for the level of severity, co-morbidity, and associated stressors and complications.

     CASAS further recognizes that for every $1 invested in alcoholism/drug abuse prevention and treatment, there is a savings return to society of $7-12, in reduced health care costs, reduced crime and violence costs, reduced welfare costs, decreased business costs, decreased insurance costs, and increases to the government in overall tax revenues.
