  • Thank you for your ongoing support, recommendations and guidance. In spite of the state’s budgetary challenges, I am optimistic about what we can accomplish in 2009 by working together. Improving the counselor certification system is a top priority for the department this year.

  • Many clients in treatment benefit from complementary therapies that support a standard treatment regimen. In this, our second issue of Focus we explore the CARA Model of Brain Repair, an innovative program using acupuncture, nutrition and mind-body integration in collaboration with the Sacramento County Drug Court Program.

  • We created this publication in response to feedback from providers like you who expressed the need for ADP to communicate directly with the field about state activities.
