Description
Drug and Alcohol Commission Meeting 020321
A
A
A
So
that's
gonna,
that's
gonna,
be
a
a
great
resource
for
this.
For
this
committee
in
admission,
I
was
tasked
by
mr
gundaghi
to
look
over
a
residential
substance,
abuse
treatment
program
grant.
I
did
look
over
and
it
came
out
of
the
office
of
the
company
and
criminal
justice
department
looking
over
and
I'm
sorry
that
mr
kennedy
is
not
here
to
to
listen
to
it.
But
we
are
ineligible
because
the
detox
facility
will
not
be
a
a
jail-based.
So
it's
going
to
be
voluntary
or.
A
C
One
yes,
but
the
whole
issue
that
we
got
caught
here
in
webb
county
was
the
fact
that,
because
of
kovid,
both
the
city
and
the
county,
I
think
the
county
didn't
want
to
move
forward
with
the
program
that,
because
we
got
funded
last
year
for
the
medication
system,
treatment
program-
and
I
just
found
out
last
week
that
the
county
decided
to
opt
out
because
of
the
kovit.
They
didn't
want
anyone
to
be
going
in
and
out
of
jail.
C
Even
though
we
explained
we
could
do
it
virtually
so
that
funding
that
we
had
that
we
got
from
the
governor.
The
county
opted
out,
and
I
understand
it
because
I
just
found
this
out
last
week
because
of
the
the
coving
right
now
and
so
we'll
be
looking
for
new
opportunities
in
the
future.
But
if
it
is
from
the
office
of
the
governor,
then
it
should
be
one
of
the
main
things.
A
C
C
So
then
I
think
it
would
be
behoove
us
that
once
this
is
run
to
the
to
maybe
put
out
an
rfq
if
scanners
are
disqualified,
then
to
assist
them
in
getting
an
expansion
of
what
they
already
have
any
that
or
getting
another
facility
that
would
meet
the
needs
that
we
could
build
adjacent
to
the
site,
but
it
has
to
be
one
of
the
licensed
sides
and,
like
I
said,
the
only
ones
that
I
I
mean.
I
see
one
two
three.
C
I
think
maybe
four
people
here,
three
people
here
that
are
always
coming
in
from
scan.
I
don't
see
anyone
else,
and
so
it
has
to
be
one
of
the
license
providers
and
that's
just
my
thought,
and
so
once
we
move
to
that
point-
and
we
say:
okay,
we
want
to.
We
want
to
do
a
facility
right
here.
We
put
in
our
opportunity
who's
willing
to
to
do
this.
We
have
to
build
it.
C
C
C
C
A
C
E
A
F
Thank
you
very
much.
It
definitely
is
an
honor,
as
ms
quintanilla
has
always
been
somebody
that
I
respected
and
looked
up
to,
so
I
definitely
will
follow
in
her
shoes
in
and
being
able
to
do
the
best
that
I
can
do
for
the
commission
and
the
community.
So
I
do
appreciate
the
nomination
and
your
trust
to
be
able
to
carry
along
these
these
meetings
and
efforts
to
be
able
to
to
help
our
community.
With
this
issue.
F
With
respect
to
marina,
I
think
she'd
be
a
wonderful
person
to
be
able
to
be
a
co-chair,
but
I
know
that
andrea
had
reported
that
she
would
need
to
be
a
member,
and
I
believe
that
the
membership
would
there's
there's
four
there's
four
individuals
in
question
right
now
as
to
whether
or
not
they
will
still
remain
as
a
representative
of
their
council
members
or
they
are
being
replaced
andrea.
Do
you
have
an
update
on
that.
B
C
F
Means
please
voice
it
as
a
matter
of
fact,
if
you
know
that
your
council
member
has
expired
their
term
and
there
is
a
new
council
member
in
that
district
and
you
still
want
to
continue
to
be
part
of
the
drug
and
alcohol
commission,
please
voice
it
out
to
that
council
member,
so
that
you
remain
in
position
to
be
able
to
continue
with
the
efforts
that
you've
you've
done
these
last
two
years.
I
think
mr
paul
thompson
is
one
of
those
individuals
that
there's
a
new
council
member.
F
F
B
F
Express
that
she
wanted
to
ensure
that
she
would
advocate
for
for
the
program.
So
that
is
something
that
I
guess
we'll
we'll
bring
up
at
the
next
meeting,
with
hopes
that
miss
marina
is
able
to
be
nominated
or
accepted
by
one
of
the
council
members,
and
that's
that's
that
for
memberships.
Is
there
any
other
question
or
anything
on
anybody
else?
Are
we
still
getting
representatives
from
the
county,
andrea.
F
D
If
I
can
say
something,
I
believe
if
I
can
get
with
each
of
the
commissioners
on
the
county
side
and
see
if
their
representatives
are
attending
the
meetings
and
in
the
event
that
one
of
the
commissioners
their
appointee
is
not
attending.
I
can
vouch
for
miss
marina,
because
I
know
that
this
is
a
cause,
that's
dear
to
her
heart,
and
maybe
they
can
appoint
her
on
behalf
of
the
county.
F
E
F
F
F
F
E
Yes,
I
would
like,
first
of
all
to
invite
any
of
you
that
would
like
to
attend
the
meeting.
We
have
our
next
meeting,
which
is
on
march.
Second,
it's
always
the
first
tuesday
of
the
month
and
it's
always
at
11
30
and
it
ends
at
around
12
45
and
we
always
have
different
guest
speakers.
This
last
time
we
had
a
victor
from
the
dwi
court
and
we
we
talked
about
the
children
of
alcoholics
and
we
had
a
lot
of
information.
E
All
the
time
right
and
what
we
try
to
tell
people
is
that
you
know
just
make
sure
that
you
talk
to
your
children
about
the
dangers
of
alcohol
and
prescription
drugs,
because
there's
a
lot
of
you
know:
access
to
alcohol.
Many
people
have
alcohol
at
home
right
and
prescription
drugs.
You
know
the
best
way
to
to
make
sure
they're
not
getting
any,
is
locking
it
somewhere
or
having
it
like
in
your
room,
your
bedroom,
or
disposing
of
anything
that
you're
not
using.
E
E
You
know
a
lot
of
people
from
the
community,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
support
from
the
schools
as
well,
and
parents
and
you
know
different
organizations,
so
you
guys
are
more
than
welcome
to
join
I'll,
go
ahead
and
and
send
the
invitation
to
colleen,
and
hopefully
she
can
send
it
to
you
all.
I
know
that
she
has.
She
probably
has
the
information
for
you
guys.
I
don't
have
your
information,
but
oh
yes,
I
do
from
the
from
the
I
can
send
it
to
to
the.
C
E
C
So
I
wanted
to
follow
up
on
that,
and
thank
you
thank
you
for
that.
But
again
I
I
want
you
veronica
to
know
that
you
know
I
used
to
always
attend
the
meetings,
but
because
I
see
clients
pretty
much
every
day,
all
day
from
nine
in
the
morning
straight
on.
Unfortunately,
I
can't
make
it
that
my
wife
does
it,
and
she
tells
me
about
the
meetings.
The
one
thing
that
you
mentioned,
that
my
attention
was
about
anxiety
and
you're
right
with
covid
there.
C
I
have
seen
in
my
private
practice
messy
over
40
clients
a
week,
more
anxiety
and
more
depression
in
you
because
of
the
covalent
and
also
with
adults
and
I've
seen
clients
never
had
anxiety.
Depression
now
have
anxiety,
depression,
people
that
had
anxiety,
depression
before
have
more
intense
issues.
There's
there's
there's
been
suicides
because
of
it.
There's
been
a
lot
of
issues
now
in
the
33
years,
almost
that
I've
been
in
the
field
since
july
of
1988.
C
I
know
that
one
thing
addiction
doesn't
occur
in
a
vacuum.
I've
never
met
and
we
used
to
call
it
back
in
the
old
days.
Do
you
remember
dual
diagnosis?
Now
we
call
it
cochlear
implants.
I
never
met
a
client
that
had
a
substance
use
disorder
alone,
whether
it
was
that
they
were
drinking
all
college.
Smoking
pot
maybe
had
a
newer.
C
It
doesn't
happen
in
a
vacuum
and
if
we
don't
treat
the
mental
health
component
as
primary
we're
never
going
to
get
encrypted
from
the
substance,
and
one
of
my
suggestions
is
that
we
may
want
to
have
a
mental
health
work
group
or
a
work
group
that
deals
with
co-occurring
disorders.
I
wouldn't
mind
doing
that.
I've
been
trained
to
treat
cochrane
disorders,
but
you
know
a
lot
of
times
and
in
the
old
days
you
just
said:
okay.
C
Well,
the
drug
alcohol
here
is
just
one
thing
and
the
mental
health
another
and
people
used
to
get
balanced
around.
We
don't
want
that
to
happen
anymore,
and
I
know
that
scan
has
the
cops,
the
program
where
they
do
integrative
services,
but
we
have
to
be
aware,
as
a
community,
that
mental
health
and
use
occurs
together.
C
You
know,
for
example,
in
33
years
I
have
never
met
a
client
that
had
a
cannabis
use,
disorder,
mild,
moderate
or
severe
that
didn't
have
adhd.
Now
adhd
is
a
neurological
issue,
but
other
other
issues
are
comorbid
with
it.
So
if
you
have
adhd
you're
more
likely
to
have
generalized
anxiety,
you
may
also
have
ocd,
and
so
all
of
those
things.
C
Get
diagnosed
with
adhd
at
an
early
age,
whether
you
treat
them
with
cbt
or
other
types
of
treatments,
where
you
include
a
lot
of
exercise
or
your
freedom
of
medication,
they
don't
get
treated.
I
guarantee
they're
going
to
go
out
and
use
marijuana
and
we're
going
to
continue
having
that
same
problem.
C
So
we
need
to
educate
the
people,
the
people
in
our
community
not
only
about
mental
health
issues
but
ways
to
treat
them
so,
for
example,
I
I
don't
I'm
not
one
to
pull
a
trigger
early
on
kids
that
have
adhd
and
say
haven't
used
medication.
We
do
different
things.
You
know
I
have.
A
lot
of
young
people
have
been
successful
if
I
can
get
them
into
a
structured
routine
for
a
lot
of
exercises
involved,
including
including
those
kids
that
are
in
the
athletic
block.
C
You
know
high
school
kids,
because
once
you
start
athletics
in
the
morning,
they
release
endorphins
norepinephrine
dopamine
serotonin.
They
can
focus
better
and
so
there's
lots
of
ways
you
know
now,
sometimes
when
they
get
to
college,
they
may
need
some
medication,
but
there's
lots
of
different
ways
that
we
can
treat
adhd
if
they
have
it.
There's
lots
of
anxiety
disorders
are
the
easiest
things
to
feed
without
medication,
but
we
need
to.
Let
me
know
that
they
come
together
and
colleen
is,
I
I'm
sorry
and
veronica's
right.
C
I
have
seen
kids
in
the
last
month
and
a
half
that
are
13
years
old
that
have
started
drinking
that
have
started
using
cannabis
and
at
times-
and
this
is
the
most
frustrating
thing-
this
is
one
of
my
pet
peeves.
When
I
was
at
scan
parents
give
mixed
messages,
they
tell
them
it's
okay,
to
drink
your
home.
C
C
You
know,
even
though
we
had
adults,
we
didn't
have
alcohol,
we
don't
give
mixed
messages
and
I
think
that's
a
very
important
thing,
but
we
do
need
to
get
the
mental
health
out.
We
need
to
let
them
know,
and
so
that's
the
one
area
that
I
suggest.
That's
just
my.
It's
been
a
pet
peeve
of
mine
for
a
long
time,
and
you
know
I
think
we
do
need
to
work
on
the
mental
health
side,
because
even
when
those
people
are
coming
into
detox,
they're
all
gonna
have
mental
health
issues.
C
What
are
we
gonna
do
with
them?
We're
gonna
have
lpcs
addressing
it
when
they
do
the
assessment,
but
then
what's
going
to
happen,
if
we
get
them
in
the
detox,
okay,
we
maybe
we'll
have
residential.
We
send
them
something
out
or
somewhere
else
we
can
get
our
place.
But
what
are
we
going
to
do?
You
know
when
we
come
up
with
our
residential
piece?
It
has
to
be
a
piece
that
works,
especially
for
people
with
co-operating
psychiatrists.
C
We
have
to
send
our
clients
to
the
drug
court
and
our
veterans
court
out
of
town
to
get
those
types
of
services
because
we
do
not
have
we
don't
have
facilities
where
we
have
lpcs,
providing
the
services
and-
and
I
believe
scan
does
great
services
instead
of
me
that,
but
the
reality
is
that
we
are,
we
are
undermanned
here,
that's
my
little.
My
little.
C
F
Okay,
I
thought
you
had
had
an
announcement
or
had
something
to
add
on
to
what
mr
hernandez
said.
But
yes,
that's
what
I
wanted
to
actually
get
veronica
to
state,
but
it's
actually
a
very
good
idea:
jesse,
because
I've
researched
a
couple
of
other
advisory
boards
or
commissions,
and
some
of
them
actually
have
it
in
the
name
where
it's
a
mental
health,
drug
and
alcohol
commission
or
that
they're
inclusive
of
mental
health,
because
mental
health
is
primary.
If
not
I
mean
it.
