No,

not.
We

A
A
A
Okay,

we'll

E
A
August,
the

you
would
meet

F
A
Okay,
so
the
next
detox
meeting
will
be
done
at

and
if
mr

they'll
meet
in

Mr
walls,
do
you
have
any
updates
with
the
actual

A
Okay,
okay,
so
you're
all
good.
I
think

and
anybody
else
who
signed
up
to
be
part
of
the

sub
committee,
dr
dominguez,
for
this
committee.
We
have
different
subcommittees
that
the
council,
the
commissioners,
the
members,
are
able
to
partake
and
to
get
involved.
A
So
if
anybody
is-
and
that
again
goes
to
the
stakeholders
enrique
and
melissa
and
ms
linda,
if
you
would
like
to
be
a
part
of
the
conversations
that
have
to
do
with
the
detox
facility,
that
the
city
of
laredo
and
webb
county
are
hoping
to
have
in
the
near
future,
you're
more
than
welcome
to
join
them.
And
it's
led
by
mr
montemayor,
mr
hernandez.
A
So
if
you're
more
than
you're,
if
you're
interested
you're
more
than
welcome
to
join
us
at
the
next
meeting,
which
is
august
4th
at
4
30
here
and
then
it
will
transition
into
the
drug
and
alcohol
commission
meeting
that,
hopefully
by
then
we'll
be
able
to
get
an
update
of
what
you
all
have
been
talking
about.
Okay,.
A
30
right
yeah,
that
meeting
is
at
4
30..
Mr
montana,
dr
dominguez
is
new
to
the
to
the
commission.
Do
you
want
to
make
mention
on
what
some
of
the
discussion
was
that
before
you
all?
You.
E
A
A
A
Okay,
so
it's
been
a
it's
been
a
it's
been
a
while
since
they've
actually
met
and
discussed
the
topic,
but
mr
walls
have
been
giving
us
some
updates.
So
we'll
share
some
of
those
minutes
so
that
you
can
catch
up
on
that.
Moving
on
to
work,
group
group
work
group
reports,
which
entails
the
different
groups
that
we
have.
A
As
of
last
meeting.
We
did
establish
a
participation
as
to
who
would
want
to
participate
in
what
so.
I
will
share
that
with
you
miss
dr
dominguez
and,
if
you're
interested
in
wanting
to
partake
in
any
of
one
of
them
or
a
few
of
them,
whichever
you
can
handle.
A
I
know
that
we
have
some
individuals
that
want
to
participate
in
each
group,
but
it
is
time
consuming,
but
we
want
you
to
be
able
to
be
considerate
of
what
you're
going
to
dedicate
to.
We
do
have
groups
that
are
from
the
outreach
education
prevention
to
transitional
living
to
mental
health,
to
the
detox
facility,
and
I
am
missing
one
but
there's
there's
five
groups
that
you
can
participate
in
and
they
all
handle
different
things
to
make
sure
that
we
maintain
our
our.
A
Lead
yeah
that
one's
gonna
be
the
mental
health
one,
okay,
all
right,
okay,
yes,
thank
you
and
I'll
go
ahead,
and
as
soon
as
I
finalize
it
before
the
end
of
the
week
I'll
go
ahead
and
send
that
out
to
you
all,
and
hopefully
you
can
either
meet
in
person
or
in
a
virtual
setting
before
the
next
meeting.
So
that
way,
when
we
come
to
the
work
group
reports,
each
subcommittee
has
a
chair
and
they're
able
to
report
on
what
you're
all
discussing
or
what
movements
are
being
done.
A
I
know
miss
marta
hernandez
is
online,
but
she
had
also
wanted
to
participate
in
the
outreach,
education
and
prevention
component.
She
actually
did
have
a
meeting
today
with
the
base
coalition
and
she
was
able
to
share
some
some
information.
That's
going
to
be
shared
on
our
social
media
and
hopefully
she'll
be
able
to
share
that
with
us
right
now.
Ms
marta,
can
you
share
on
the
take
a
breath
campaign.
E
C
Okay,
let's
see,
if
not,
I
can
open
it
here
in
another
form,.
D
C
C
D
C
A
C
Great,
it's
because
I
see
it
different
on
mine.
So
so,
if
you
go
to
that
website,
I
received
this
information
yesterday.
So
it's
catch
my
breath
and
it's
from
the
sansa
here.
Let
me
see
here
it's
an
evidence-based
youth,
vaping
prevention
program
right
here,
developed
by
the
university
of
texas
health
science
center
at
houston,
and
it
is
based
on
right
ages
from
10
to
18
years
old
grades.
Five
and
also
it
has
three
different
levels
of
registration
for
training.
C
But
right
now
I
do
know
that,
for
the
parents
and
licensed
professionals
and
educators
are
able
to
get
free
training
and
then
if
it
goes
to
a
second
level
or
a
third
level,
there
is
a
fee,
but,
as
you
can
see,
it
is
based
on.
Let
me
go
back
up
here.
C
C
It
is
the
only
evidence
based
right
now
as
the
leading
to
perform
these
approaches
in
giving
the
students,
knowledge
and
teachers
and
educators.
So
it's
a
very
great
informational
training
that
you
can
all
get
and
there's
videos
here
that
you
can
all
also
preview,
even
beforehand
that
you
can
get
information
on.
C
So
it's
www.catchmybreath.org
there's
also
here
the
phone
number
it's
855
500.0050,
and
it
is
also
very
well
known
right
now
if
this
has
been
established
in
2016,
but
now
it
is
proven
to
be
the
leading
and
the
only
evidence-based
curriculum
that
is
being
used
right
now.
So
please
take
advantage
of
this.
C
It's
very
very
great
for
youth
baking
per
it's
a
youth,
vaping
prevention
program.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
miss
martha
whatever
it
is.
I'm
gonna
share
it
to
the
drug
and
alcohol
commission,
facebook
page,
which
I've
been
sharing
a
couple
of
statuses
and
updates
and
information,
and
so
if
either
westcare
or
anybody
else
will
be
doing
the
catch.
My
breath
training.
Perhaps
we
can
open
it
up
and
offer
it
to
the
schools
or
maybe
summer
school
programs.
A
I
know
that
through
laredo
crime
stoppers
we
are
working
with
the
boys
and
girls
club
and
we
are
doing
presentations
every
other
week
on
different
topics.
And
if
I
get
you
through
the
training,
then
I'm
sure
that
we
can
go
ahead
and
do
the
training
to
the
to
the
students
or
the
individuals
that
are
at
the
boys
and
girls
club.
We
are
covering
all
three
boys
and
girls
club
northwest,
maine
and
lamar
bruni,
and
we
have
in
a
week
span.
A
We
see
130
students,
boys
and
girls
from
the
age
of
six
years
old
to
13
years
old.
So
if
it's
not
through
me,
then
maybe
through
westcare
or
maybe
any
of
the
other
agencies
that
are
present,
who
are
willing
to
do
these
presentations.
As
long
as
we're
able
to
promote
it
through
our
drug
and
alcohol
commission,
facebook
allowing
people
to
contact
us
to
see-
if
maybe
this
is
something
that
they
can
do,
I
know
also
through
laredo
crime
stoppers
when
school
was
active
and
the
students
were
going
on.
A
Campus
vaping
was
a
major
issue.
If
I
could
say
that
we
received
10
tips
on
a
weekly
basis
that
students
were
vaping,
I
could
say
that
that
would
be
the
average.
So
it
is
a
it
is
a
concern,
and
it
is
something
that
we
we
must
be
educated
on,
and
so
through
the
prevention
outreach
education.
This
is
what
we're
reporting
for
today
and
again
for
the
work
group
subcommittee
groups.
A
We
have
hopefully
next
month
that
each
of
them
would
be
able
to
present
on
something
or
a
status,
update
or
education
component,
so
that
we
can
learn
more
about
things
that
are
going
on
and
how
we
can
promote
the
the
commission.
F
C
Laredo
and
get
these
sessions
going,
it
does
take,
maybe
depends,
it
might
take
a
semester
depending
how
many
times
we
go
throughout
the
week.
If
we.
D
A
Thank
you.
I
definitely
think
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
try
to
see
if
we
can
meet
so
that
we
can
have
a
creative
flyer
so
that
we
can
promote
the
the
life
skill
training.
So
I
think,
perhaps
going
back
to
school,
there
may
be
counselors
or
teachers
that
may
be
interested
in
in
the
curriculum
for
the
first
semester
of
this
of
the
upcoming
school
year.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Ms
martha.
Do
you
have
anything
else
to
share.
C
I
just
really
wanted
to
get
this
one
out
since
I
did
receive
it
yesterday
and
make
sure
that
everybody
is
aware-
and
all
of
you
all
can
get
a
hold
of
this.
The
link
is
there
on
the
chat,
so
please,
by
all
means
research
on
it.
If
we,
if
we
have
any
further
questions,
please
approach
me
email
me
and
I'll
be
glad
to
sit
with
you
and
or,
however,
you
like
to
give
you
any
further
information
needed
miss
any
of
you
all.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Miss
miss
martha
right
now
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
forward
with
the
stakeholder
agency
updates.
We
do
have
some
stakeholders
that
are
currently
present
melissa
enriquez.
You
all
have
any
updates
with
the
agencies.
How
are
you
all
working,
post,
covid
and
back
in
the
office?
Are
you
all
seen
clients
doing
trainings
activities?
B
Well
I'll
go
ahead
and
get
started.
I
know
one
of
the
big
updates
that
we
have
is
scan
will
be
conducting
the
an
rba
conference.
It's
going
to
be
a
virtual
conference.
It's
going
to
take
part
during
july
20th
through
the
22nd,
it's
half
a
day
from
9am
to
12pm
for
each
of
those
three
different
days.
There's
it's
going
to
be,
I
guess
a
different
tracks,
one
for
youth
when
it
targets
you
the
other
one
parents
and
the
other
one
professionals
for
the
professional
one.
B
There
is
going
to
be
once
one
of
the
presentations
is
going
to
offer
one
ceu.
I
will
go
ahead
and
well.
I
do
have
like
flyers
to
hand
out,
but
I
could
also
email
you
the
information
as
well,
so
you
could
send
it
out
to
everyone.
B
But
yes,
there
is
a
variety
of
topics
I
did
forget
to
say
it
is
completely.
It
is
completely
free
of
charge.
There
are
links
to
register
for
the
webinars
in
advance.
It
is
through
zoom.
But
yes,
I
did
mention
it's
all
free
of
charge.
So.
A
I
actually
looked
at
the
topics.
I
received
the
email
that
was
sent
through
the
web
county
community
coalition
and
it
was
there
were
interesting
topics,
so
I've
actually
signed
up
for
all
three
just
to
kind
of
get
some
information,
because
I
believe
that
training,
education,
knowledge
is
power,
super
corny
always
say
it,
but
some
of
that
information
I'm
able
to
apply
to
the
presentations
or
to
conversations
that
we
have
amongst
professionals,
and
so
it's
always
good
to
to
be
able
to
to
do,
especially
because
it's
convenient
online.
A
So
if
anybody
has
the
availability
to
actually
do
them,
I
encourage
you
all
too,
because
they
are
interesting
topics
and
so
miss
melissa
will
share
that
link
or
I'll
go
ahead
and
grab
that
link
and
I'll
share
it
to
the
rest
of
the
group.
So
hopefully
we
have
some
good
attendance
from
the
drug
and
alcohol
commission.
B
G
And
as
far
as
the
treatment
component,
all
the
residential
facilities
are
still
open
and
are
providing
substance,
abuse,
treatment
for
youth,
male
and
female
and,
of
course,
the
adults
for
male
and
female
adults
as
well.
The
outpatient
programs
are
still
operating,
they
have
been
operating,
we
are
doing
a
mix
of
both
virtual
and
face
to
face.
The
only
thing
we're
not
doing
is
groups
group,
counseling
and
and
the
outpatient
we
do
do
it
through
virtual
through
virtual
services,
but
we're
looking
at
bringing
them
back
face
to
face.
G
A
So,
mr
enrique
really
quick
question
not
that
it
came
through
my
personal
facebook.
It
actually
came
through
a
thread
of
somebody
sending
me
any
information
and
if
I
could
find
it
I'll
share
it
with
you.
But
what
happens
if
somebody
is
looking
for
help,
particularly
they
asked
if
there
was
any
drug
treatments.
Where
is
the
first
place
that
they
should
be
sent
to
or
considered?
A
G
The
best
thing
is
just
call
scan.
We
have
different
ways
of
getting
the
individual
to
collect
services.
So
if
they're
just
asking
for
information,
they
normally
get
directed
to
one
of
the
treatment
directors
and
we're
able
to
coordinate
with
the
individual
as
far
as
what
are
the
best
services,
whether
it's
maybe
prevention,
an
intervention
program
or
treatment
and
of
course,
we
coordinate
for
the
screening
and
assessment.
So
as
long
as
they
call
us
there's,
no,
we
don't
have
a.
G
We
do
have
one
hotline
that
operates,
but
it's
for
for
a
crisis:
okay
and
normally
that's
associated
with
the
intervention
program.
Aside
from
that
monday,
through
friday,
8
30
through
5
30..
So,
okay.
A
And
that's
something
that
I
want
to
be
able
to
put
onto
our
social
media
that
way
it's
easier
for
people
to
share
or
to
kind
of-
and
I
know
that
you
all
have
a
very
active
instagram
and
facebook.
So
I'll
start
tagging
you
all
on
those
and
hopefully
getting
these
individuals
that
are
seeking
help
to
be
able
to
yeah.
A
All
I
think,
right
now,
the
biggest
complex
is:
are
they
working?
Are
they
allowing
new
clients,
or
can
I
call
it
in?
Can
I
be.
A
Virtually
and
stuff
like
that,
so
that's
why
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
all
gave
us
an
update
on
what
you're
all
doing
yeah.
G
F
G
F
I'm
just
kind
of
I'm
wondering
you
know.
I
know
that
part
of
the
process
that
will
alleviate
your
your
weight.
Penis
is
once
we
have
a
detox
coin,
because
we
have
people
who's
bouncing
back,
but
I'm
just
wondering
what
the
weight
is
like
you
know.
Typically,
when
I
have
my
private
classes
somewhere,
you
know
they've
had
to
even
wait
a
couple
of
days.
I
was
just
wondering
what
the
situation
was
here
in
raita.
F
I'm
sure
that
you're
always
full,
and
I
know
that,
statistically,
you
know
we're
seeing
you
know.
People
walk
in
the
services
about
25
of
them
are
open
addicts
and
then
you
have
all
the
females
that
that
have
children.
Those
people
go
in
first,
so
I'm
just
wondering
what
the
what
that,
what
it's
like,
what
you're
waiting
this
is
like.
It
would
be
good.
F
Maybe
we
could
discuss
that
in
our
next
detox
meeting
because
as
we're
having
the
detox
meeting
but
last
time
we're
having
meetings,
we're
really
ready
to
transition
into
phase
two
which
was
residential
services,
then
we're
gonna,
hopefully
build
next
to
the
details,
and
you
know
you
guys
are
here:
you
guys
are
players
and
you've
always
done
a
good
job
in
all
the
years
that
I've
been
associated
with
scan,
you've
done
an
excellent
job,
and
so
yeah
I'd
like
to
kind
of
have
an
idea
that
gives
us
a
way.
F
We
have
some
numbers.
Maybe
next
month
august
4th
we
talked
about
it.
We
can
kind
of
discuss
what
are
some
of
the
strategies
and
strategies
that
alleviate
that
issue,
because
I
can
let
you
know,
I
don't
know
about
you
because
there,
but
in
the
drug
court
you
know
we're
sending
a
huge
number
of
opiate
addicts
out
to
residential
treatment
out
of
town.
Obviously
we
try
to
send
them
to
us,
sometimes
there's
no
room
and
we
have
to
send
them
out
and-
and
so
hopefully
we
can
address
some
of
these
issues.
F
G
F
If
you
want,
you
can
just
text
me
just
so.
I
have
that
information
in
my
head
and
then
you
know,
I'm
sure
I'll
see
the
next
meeting,
but
you
guys
are
doing
a
great
job.
I
appreciate
it
and
west
here
also,
I
have
very
far
memories
of
working
with
west
springs,
but
thank
you
for
all
the
work
you
all
do.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
update
from
our
stakeholders
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
get
into
our
community
presentation.
Today
we
have
ms
mendiola,
who
is
representing
tropical
behavioral
health
and
she's
gonna,
go
ahead
and
start
setting
up
for
the
presentation
that
she
has
on
on
the
computer
and
she's
gonna
be
able
to
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
herself.
So
the
floor
is.
D
A
We
were
said
to
have
miss
monica
calderon
from
mhp
salute,
but
there
may
have
been
like
a
disconnect
between
the
whole
virtual
and
in-person
setup.
So
hopefully
we'll
have
her
for
the
next
next
meeting.
F
E
A
Thank
you,
jesse
I'll,
try
to
see
if
mr
walls
can
do
anything
to
or
know
why.
Maybe.
H
H
And
so
a
little
bit
about
what
I'll
talk
about
is,
who
we
are?
What
kind
of
services
we
offer
referrals
locations
that
we
have
and
how
we
keep
in
touch
with,
with
the
contacts
with
the
clients.
H
And
so
osar,
basically,
what
our
name
stands
for
is
what
we
do
so
in
our
program.
We
do
outreach
through
our
outreach.
We
get
to
know
you
know
different
community
agencies
in
our
in
our
community
and
offer
our
services
to
their
clients.
We,
of
course,
do
the
screenings
to
see
what
kind
of
services
they
qualify
for.
We
do
do
in-depth
assessments
to
see
what
what
community
agencies
would
be
best
for
them
and
then,
of
course,
the
referral
process.
H
It
is
something
that
is
free
of
charge,
there's
no
cost
for
what
we
do
and
we're
pretty
much
like
the
front
door.
You
know
we
do
referral
to
all
different
types
of
agencies
within
our
community
here
in
laredo
web
county
and
outside
of
laredo
in
region
11..
We
do
at
times
do
referrals
to
like
san
antonio
and
things
like
that.
It's
really
what's
best
for
the
client
and
anybody
who's.
A
texas
resident
can
can
go
ahead
and
get
a
screen
what
ages
from
13
so
region
11.
H
It
basically
covers
the
the
light
blue
or
the
darker
light
blue
at
the
bottom,
where
you
see
eleven.
So
I
do
do
screenings
here
in
laredo,
but
I
do
various
screenings
also
by
phone
and
cameron,
county
hebronville,
and
so
we
cover
all
of
region
11.
and
even
if
we
have
some
individuals
that
are
from
different
regions,
but
they
just
move
down
or
they're
working,
mainly,
you
know
in
region
11
we're
able
to
go
ahead
and
screen
them
and
offer
them
services
since
they're
spending
the
majority
of
their
time.
H
And
I
just
wanted
to
it's
very
small,
but
I
just
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
share
with
you
the
numbers
of
the
fiscal
year
so
far,
and
so
the
majority
of
the
screenings
that
we
have
done.
They
are
in
cameron,
county
and
ivago
county.
H
H
Month
and
so
just
to
give
you
a
good
look
at
youth
and
adults
within
region
11.
Up
to
now,
we've
seen
298,
youth
and
3192
adults
and
that's
region-wide.
H
Activities,
you
know,
individuals
that
outreach
the
screening
process
assessment,
and
this
is
to
gain
a
good
knowledge
on
what
else
the
client
might
need.
You
know,
as
we
know,
a
lot
of
the
times.
It's
not
just
substance
use
services
that
they
need.
They
need
mental
health,
health
care,
and
so
that's
why
we
do
the
assessments
to
see.
Where
else
do
we
need
to
go
ahead
and
prepare
them.
H
Now
these
are
the
different
things
that
we
focus
on
for
their
assessments.
Of
course,
you
know
they're
going
through
any
types
of
withdrawals
for
medical
history,
their
emotional
behavior,
cognitive
conditions.
H
H
Now
we
do
have
a
particular
counselor
that
specializes
in
screening,
injecting
users,
ob
users
and
so
she's
the
one
that
kind
of
builds
that
relationship
with
them
through
the
beginning
to
the
end,
while
through
the
screening
of
the
follow-up
process
for
every
pretty
much
any
substance
use,
we
do
provide
an
overdose
prevention.
Now,
when
we
were
doing
you
know
the
basic
things
before
cloven
we're
providing
the
narcan
and
right
now,
that's
not
something
that
we're
doing
because
we're
doing
majority
phone
sessions.
H
So
if
you
guys
know
somewhere,
you
know
that
currently
is
giving
out
a
scan.
Okay,
I
wasn't
sure
okay,
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
refer
them
just
for
that,
and
then
we
also
always
try
to
refer
to
the
medical.
The
mbt
program,
which
we
have
alma
here
or
outside
the
front
of
different.
H
Now
we
have
welfare
state,
funded
of
services
and
so
pretty
much.
You
know
anything
that
they
need.
That
will
try
to
go
ahead
and
service
them
through
the
state
funded
program.
So
these
are
individuals
that
don't
have
any
kind
of
private
insurance.
If
they
have
medicaid,
then
we'll
go
ahead
and
refer
them
to
agencies
that
do
accept
their
medicaid.
H
H
And
so
the
location
that
we
have
is
an
eddie
bird
west
lakov,
a
harlem
gen,
brownsville
isis
border
region
here
in
the
bus.
That's
where
my
office
is
located
on
coastal
plains,
and
you
know
pretty
much
the
offices
that
you
see
on
the
right
side.
We
kind
of
do
outreach
to
other
locations
close
by,
and
so
hopefully
you
know
when
everything
kind
of
starts
going
back
to
our
new
normal.
I'm
able
to
go
ahead
and
go
a
little
more
into
about
the
hyperville
those
areas
to
go
ahead
and
do
more
outreach.
H
We
do
do
follow
up
to
all
the
clients,
and
so
the
way
that
we
do
that
is
in
the
beginning.
We
try
and
get
as
much
updated
information
as
we
can.
You
know
who's
an
emergency
contact,
a
follow-up
contact,
maybe
if
they
have
different
addresses,
so
that
we
can
go
ahead
and
make
sure
that
they
were
able
to
receive
those
services
what
they
were
looking
for.
If
they
didn't,
then
we
try
to
get
updated
information
to
see.
H
If
we
need
to
do
another
type
of
referral
and
what
we
do
is
we
call
them
three
times.
You
know
we
continue
to
try
and
follow
up
with
them.
After
that,
you
know
they
just
kind
of
close
their
case
and
we're
not
able
to
get
in
contact
with
them,
but
they're
still
able
to
come
back
and
we're
able
to
rescreen
them
if
they
want
to
get
services
again.
So
there's
no
limit
to
how
many
times
they
can
come
in.
You
can
refer
out.
H
Before
I
go
into
this
one,
I
have
had
clients
that
you
know
they
just
they
don't
want
to
take
that
other
step
to
fall.
You
know
to
the
detox
to
the
residential
treatment
or
if
I've
had
older
clients
that
you
know
they
can't
they
don't
get.
The
hang
of
you
know
the
automated
quality
and
stuff
like
that.
So
we're
able
to
do
that
with
them.
H
In
addition,
you
can
also
send
emails
to
sud,
ttbh.org
and
then
fax
them
in
as
well,
and
they
can
also
contact
us
now.
My
direct
line
for
the
laredo
authors,
it's
956-381-3140
or
they
can
call
our
edinburgh
office
as
well,
either
way
from
any
of
these,
they
will
kind
of
send
out
the
referral
to
any
of
the
counselors
in
either
of
the
locations
or
to.
D
H
And
then
we
also
have
a
quarterly
hall,
which
we
have
stakeholders
oftentimes
scan.
We
have
individuals
from
the
health
department
as
well
from
from
all
over
the
region,
11
and
basically
what
this
is
for,
so
that
we
can
keep
each
other
in
contact
and
up
to
date
on
services
that
you
know
kind
of
maybe
move
to
a
different
program
or
new
programs
that
started
up
or
even
just
to
discuss.
You
know:
hey
my
client's
having
a
hard
time
getting
a
hold
of
you
know
getting
services.
H
F
I
have
a,
I
have
a
couple
of
comments.
First
of
all,
can
you
hear?
Can
you
all
hear
me?
Yes,
first
of
all,
linda,
it
was
great
seeing
you
again.
F
Been
a
while,
but
I
remember
you
very
fondly,
and
I
think
you
did
a
great
job
right
here.
This
was
actually
the
answer
to
the
question
you
asked:
where
do
you
go?
You
go
to
the
ozar
there's
the
keepers
for
health
and
human
services,
region
11
or
any
type
of
inpatient
facility,
that's
licensed
or
funded.
So.
D
F
Ozar
is
your
answer?
That's
you
know.
Even
if
you
went
the
scan,
they're
gonna,
send
you
back
to
the
ozarks.
So
linda
would
end
up
doing
doing
that
work
and
I
think
the
ozar
is
a
very
important
plays
a
very
important
role.
Ozars
have
been
around
since
the
early,
2000s
and
and
so
tropical
texas.
That's
really
interesting
that
you
guys
are
doing
that.
I'm
glad
that
you
haven't
signed
here
on
the
radio,
but
I
did
want
to
talk
about
those
the
discrepancy
of
the
numbers.
F
You
see
a
lot
of
individual
county.
D
F
In
the
two
counties
that
you
saw
where
all
those
numbers
were
high,
you
know.
F
F
Because-
and
he
can
attest
to
this
because
in
any
of
the
any
of
the
services
that
that
I
work
with
whether
it's
drug
court,
the
veterans
court,
whether
it's
a
tc,
hiv
program
or
pillar
or
any
of
the
problems
that
work
with
the
city,
the
outpatient
services
were
overwhelmed
by
the
the
clients
that
met
the
highest
of
the
asam
criteria.
That
were
priority
populations.
So
we're
being
overrun.
D
F
Clients
in
our
normal
outpatient
services
that
meat
priority
population
that
would
typically
go
into
anywhere
else.
In
addition
to
that,
because
priority
populations
taken
care
of
has
to
be
dealt
with
first
in
the
residential,
then
what
happens
is
those
people
that
that
are
using
cocaine
or
alcohol
or
any
other
substance.
F
If
the
population
is
already
filled,
let's
say
at
scan
and
they're
setting
the
entire
program.
Well,
those
people
have
to
get
pushed
back
to
outpatient
services,
and
so
our
outpatient
services
are
really
taking
people
that
need
residential
services.
We
just
don't
have
the
capacity
we
have
the
numbers,
we
have
the
numbers
of
people,
I
mean
we
have
so
many
people
in
our
all
our
different
stanza
programs
that
meet
these
have
criteria
for
meeting
either
detox
or
residential.
F
We
just
don't
have
the
beds
like
they
do
in
the
valley
or,
like
you
do
in
san
antonio
or
dallas.
That's
that's
a
problem
that
we've
had
lifelong
you
know
and
as
far
as
I've
been
I've
been
33
years
and
our
area
in
region,
11
and
even
south
texas
has
is
really
is,
is
seen
sometimes
as
the
step
child
and
it
always
gets
celebrated
worked
hard
to
build
up
where
it
was
at
and
one
time
they
already
had
anything
the
radio
had
enough.
F
They
were
there
right
when
all
of
our
services
went
complete.
I
remember
when
tropical
texas
had
all
all
this
all
those
substances
services
in
in
the
valley,
but
they
stayed
there.
So
there's
there's
a.
I
don't
want
you
to
think
that
we
don't
have
the
numbers.
We
have
more
of
that
more
numbers
than
you
can
imagine,
wouldn't
fill
up
that
detox
and
residential
two
three
times
over,
including
all
of
the
scanner
service.
H
Yes,
no,
absolutely
I
I
do
agree,
those
are
just
the
old
star
numbers.
I
feel
that
if
we
were
to
put
our
programs
all
together
and.
G
Just
to
add
something
really
quickly
when
individuals
do
come
to
scam
for
for
a
screening,
they
do
get,
they
don't
get
automatically
referred
to
us
or
will
work
without
getting
them
detox
or
to
a
residential
facility
when
it
becomes
urgent
that
we're
finding
a
difficulty,
then
definitely
we'll
reach
out
to
ozark
for
assistance.
So.
F
Yeah
without
a
doubt,
because
right,
if
somebody
comes
in
and
they
need
detox,
you
have
to
do
the
right
thing
to
get
them
in
the
detox,
but
I
do
know
that
I
know,
but
those
are
I
mean
you
can
call
scanning
calls
or
either
way
they're
going
to
get
they're
going
to
receive
the
services.
The
problem
is,
we
just
don't
have
anything
here
in
the
rating.
This
detox
will
be
a
big
step
forward.
F
We
haven't
had
a
detox
since
alma
lost
the
facility,
and
that
was
back
in
the
downs
back
in
the
early
2000s,
and
so
we
haven't
had
one
in
20
years
and
we
haven't
had
the
capacity
for
residential
for
years.
Even
so,
thank
you,
linda
and
thank
you
deacon.
I.
G
Appreciate
all
your
work,
just
a
quick
comment,
I'm
sorry
jesse.
I
got
a
response
from
one
of
the
directors
from
the
residential
facilities
from
the
youth
mail
facility.
Here
in
laredo
they
reported
they
don't
have
a
waitlist
at
this
moment.
That's
right
I'll
share
the
information
yeah.
I
know
I
mean
you
know.
F
You
know
because
I've
seen
I've
seen
grandfathers,
fathers
and
adolescents
now
in
all
these
years
and
and
stan
does
a
great
job
with
that
lessons
and
with
an
adult.
So
I
I'm
glad
that
you
have
that
that
capacity,
I
guess
my
concern
more
was
for
the
adults,
because
we
have
so
many
opioids
in
our
community.
A
Well,
I
think
it
would
be
best,
mr
enrique,
at
the
following
meeting
or
like
to
get
into
a
habit
of
like
reporting,
maybe
just
to
kind
of
give
an
update
and
you're
amongst
individuals
who
are
going
to
be
doing.
The
referrals,
for
example,
ms
mendiola
just
commented
and
asked
about
the
the
narc
can
and
the
the
treatment
is.
Is
it
available
through
scan?
I
think,
having
to
have
these
meetings?
A
We
can
have
these
conversations
to
be
able
to
be
up
to
date
on
referrals
or
services
that
we're
providing
ms
mendora
on
a
question
with
regards
to
your
presentation,
when
you
have
these
clients
coming
in
and
you
refer
them
and
you
do
the
follow-ups,
what's
the
success
rate
for
for
these
individuals.
So
if
you
saw
70
out
of
those
70
individuals,
how
many
of
those
have
successfully
gone
through
a
treatment
or
have
established
some
type
of
help
or
have
been
alleviated
from
from
the
substance,
abuse
or
the
addiction,
so.
H
In
talking
to
my
supervisor
to
try
to
get
that
number,
it
was
very
difficult
because
of
the
majority
or
not
the
majority,
but
many
of
our
clients
do
tend
to
be
homeless.
They
tend
to
be
minor.
So
sometimes
when
you
try
to
get
a
hold
of
their
parents,
they
may
be
going
through
substance
use
issues
as
well
or
something
happens
where
you
know
we're
just
not
able
to
get
in
contact
with
them.
Sometimes
you
know
it
is
very
difficult.
It's
it's
amazing.
H
When
we
are
able
to
get
a
hold
of
them,
and
you
know
we
hear
that
they
do,
they
did
go
ahead
and
go
through
detox
and
outpatient
or
residential,
but
sometimes
it
is
very
difficult
to
go
ahead
and
follow
up
with
them.
Sometimes
it
just
depends.
Sometimes
we
have
a
really
good
high
percentage
and
sometimes
it's
low.
A
Can
we
see
if
we
can
collaborate
with
all
the
agencies
present
to
be
able
to
highlight,
maybe
perhaps
on
a
success
program
or
an
individual
who
has
successfully
gotten
treatment
or
has
overcome
that
challenge?
A
I
know
that
on
facebook
I
follow
a
group.
That's
that's
an
addiction
page
like
a
survivor,
addiction
page,
and
they
highlight
on
individuals.
They
show
a
picture
of
the
way
that
they
used
to
be
and
look
and
talk
about
how
they're
their
mom
and
because
they're
children
they
were
able
to
overcome
it,
and
then
it
shows
them
with
their
children
or,
of
course,
if
they're,
okay
with
it.
A
And
so,
if
you
do
happen
to
have
an
individual
that
is
willing
to
share
their
story,
that
we
can
either
highlight-
and
you
know
either
put
them
on
on
our
social
media-
highlight
them
there
or
maybe
through
the
news
media,
to
go
back
and
highlight
on
the
services
that
you
actually
provide.
I
think
that
that
would
be
a
great
thing
to
do.
A
F
Okay,
yeah,
I
can
tell
you
one
way
to
start
off,
I
mean
as
an
evaluator
I
I
could
tell
I
can
let
you
know
and
and
just
just
like
in
any
sas
program
like
the
ones
that
scan
you
know.
I
can
let
you
know
the
percentage
of
clients
going
into
programs
and
how
many
of
them
have
been
successful
in
certain
areas,
including
abstinence,
getting
employment,
employment,
housing,
better
mental
health
functioning.
We
those
statistics,
are
there
and
those.
I
I'll
be
happy
to
share
with
you
now.
F
If
you
mention
months
recovery,
no,
you
have
to
be
in
the
mission
to
be
in
remission.
You
have
to
be
free
of
any
substance
for
one
year,
so
it
doesn't
take
much
it
takes
years
and
years,
and
I
learned
a
long
time
ago
I
was
working
with
an
indian
group
out
of
canada
and
they
were
working
at
our
payment
used
residential
program.
F
They
came
to
look
at
us
and
we
were
and
we're-
and
I
was
also
working
with
somebody
ada
ashbury
at
that
time
was
back
in
the
80s
and
they
were
we're
talking
about
successes.
The
success
is
getting
somebody
in
that
first
time,
because
that
first
time
you
can
plant
a
seed
and
they
can
learn
and
grow
and
we
have
people
in
the
community-
and
I
don't
mention
his
name,
but
he
you
know,
he's
a
good
friend
of
probably
a
number
of
us
here.
He
went
to.
He
went
to
treatment
on
40
different
occasions.
F
He
didn't
get
it
right
for
the
very
last
one,
but
on
each
one
he
learned
something
and
then
he
were
made.
He
remained
free
of
any
substances
and
became
a
very
productive
member
of
our
community
and
and
that
is
sometimes
just
getting
them
in
the
door
from
the
ozar
into
a
treatment
program
getting
them
into
detox.
Like
I
said
getting
the
to
treatment,
I've
had
people
go
into
detox,
and
that
was
their
first
step.
They
came
back
and
we
had
to
work
differently.
So
there's
many
different
styles.
F
Of
process
it
takes
time,
it
doesn't
happen
from
one
day
to
the
next
and
we're
dealing
with
people
with
cochrane
psychiatric
and
substance
disorders
and
that's
going
to
make
it
much
more
difficult
too.
You
know
we
have
people
with
severe
psychiatric
disorders,
we're
seeing
all
the
quad
and
four
clients
in
our
outpatient
program,
most
severe
psychiatric
muscular
substance
use.
So
it's
not
a
three-month
thing:
it's
not
a
one-year
thing,
it's
a
process.
It
takes
time
and
and
and
and
yes
we
can,
I'm
sure,
there's
people
and,
I'm
sure,
marina.
F
F
You
know,
there's
some
people
that
have
already
done
it
that
come
out,
but
it's
a
difficult
thing.
I
think
the
first
thing
to
do
is
I'll
be
glad
to
pull
out
statistics
from
different
programs.
We
have
to
show
you
what
we
have
in
our
community
and-
and
you
could
say
well,
this
is
this
is
what
these
programs
are
doing,
and
this
is
how
successful
they've
been
in
the
outpatient.
Imagine
how
much
more
successful
will
be
if
we
can
get
detox
in
a
residential
pool.
F
You
know
in
that
sense
because
of
confidentiality.
People
are.
A
Yeah,
no
definitely
and
thank
you
so
much
for
that
feedback
and
again
I'm
I'm
learning
through
the
process.
It's
something
that's
new
to
me,
I'm
not
in
your
profession.
So
obviously
you
know
the
do's
and
the
don'ts.
But
out
of
curiosity,
it's
something
that
I
see
highlighted
on
other
non-profit
organizations,
web
social
media,
and
things
like
that.
So
I
was
only
wanting
to
see
if
it
was
something
that
was
possible
through
the
services
that
are
provided
here,
but
I
definitely
understand
the
confidentiality.
F
Oh,
by
the
way
I
did
just
I
texted
out
earlier
today
to
the
loretta
daybreak
rotary
club.
I
remember
that,
and
I
asked
if
they
wanted
the
drug
and
alcohol
commission.
You
will
president
and
co-chair
mr
walls,
if
you
all,
if
you're
wanting,
if
you're
willing
to
go,
make
a
presentation
at
the
rotary
club
about
what
we're
doing
I'll
be
happy
to
schedule
it
for
you,
because
they
haven't
heard
from
them
about
the
drug
public
commission.
F
I
just
asked
well,
I
know,
because
we
haven't
had
a
presentation
at
all,
and
I
think
this
would
be
a
good
time
now
that
we're
getting
ready
to
move
on
to
the
to
the
the
detox
and
you
all
get
some
awareness
in
the
community
and
going
to
different
rotary
clubs
and
making
the
presentation.
I
think,
that's
a
good
start.
A
And
actually
that
that
brings
up
a
discussion
to
actually
see
if
the
detox
facility
is
going
to
be
able
to
accept
donations,
because
I
know
like
the
rotary,
does
help
and
support
community
organizations.
Is
that
something
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
take
and
or
to
be
able
to
support
something
from
the
detox
facility?
F
Donations
are
are
more
educational
and
the
one
program
that
we
that
our
club
does
support
is
the
drug
coordination
court,
the
the
families
during
christmas
time
we
do
a
christmas
activity
for
them
at
christmas,
drive
getting
gifts,
but
most
of
the
the
funds
are
from
for
education.
Nevertheless,
you
have
in
the
different
clubs
a
lot
of
very
well
connected
people
in
the
community.
F
F
And
time
and
then
I'll
back
to
you
and
say,
look
these
are
the
dates
and
times
available.
Well,
actually,
the
time
is
very
early.
It's
every
it's
at
the
country
club
every
friday
at
7
30
in
the
morning
from
7
30
to
8
30,
but
so
then
we're
starting
to
have
live
meeting
to
get
started
this
week.
So
instead
of
virtual
we'll
have
live
meetings.
So
it's
a
good
time
for
you
all
to
come
and
talk
about.
What's
going
on
in
the
community,
you
guys
have
done
a
great
job.
I
mean
wow.
A
Yeah,
well,
I
mean,
I
think
I
think,
we're
very
appreciative
of
all
the
members
who
are
present
and
our
stakeholders,
and
I
think
we
can
continue
to
grow
without
a
doubt.
Ms
linda,
thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us
today.
I
know
that
she
reached
out
through
our
social
media,
which
was
which
was
a
complete
shocker,
but
obviously
you
know
someone's
looking
at
it,
and
we
appreciate
that.
A
A
So
we
thank
you
and
appreciate
james
mandola
and
you're
more
than
welcome
to
join
us
from
now
on
as
a
stakeholder
and
be
able
to
represent
tropical
behavioral
health
and
talk
to
us
a
little
bit
more
about
what's
going
on
and
what
services
you're,
providing
and
we'd
love
to
definitely
hear
there's
like
a
hiccup
or
an
issue
or
something
that
can
be
resolved
through
any
of
the
other
agencies
that
are
participating
and
or
our
representations
through.
A
The
city
and
the
and
the
county
to
be
able
to
assist-
and
I
know
you
all-
will
definitely
be
much
needed
when
the
detox
facility
does
come
into
place
because
some
of
the
things
that
you
highlighted
are
going
to
be
able
to
be
of
use
to
to
them.
A
Thank
you
so
much.
No
thank
you.
We're
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
announcements
at
this
point.
Do
you
all
have
anything
that
you
all
would
like
to
share
anything
that
either
your
agency
or
who
you're
representing
your
council,
members
or
commissioners
that
may
be
doing
or
anything
of
that
sort.
A
E
Yes,
of
course,
I'm
doctor
dominguez
and
council
member
albert
selected
me
to
be
here.
I
am
a
counselor
at
nixon
high
school
and
I
am
just
launching
my
practice
as
well.
A
E
A
You
can
definitely
learn
more
at
the
next
meeting
and
I'm
sure
that
mr
hernandez
and
mr
montemayor
and
the
rest
of
the
subcommittee
group
is
able
to
catch
you
up
and
and
there's
a
lot
of
catching
up
to
do
so.
It'll
kind
of
be
a
refresher
overall
and
then
hopefully
be
able
to
get
them
to
report
at
these
meetings.
But
you're
all
the
professionals-
and
you
all
know
what
you're
all
talking
about
so
you're,
more
than
welcome
to
join
them
at
4
30.
Next
next
meeting.
A
Just
a
quick
reminder
also
that
moving
forward
meetings
are
said
to
be
in
person
this
one's
a
little
bit
unique.
We
were
trying
to
get
everybody
situated
and
acquainted
back
into
in-person
training
paola
did
send
out
an
email
back
on
the
24th
yeah
back
on
the
24th
of
june,
and
she
did
advise
that
city
manager's
office
and
city
council
had
stated
that
all
committees
need
to
transition
to
in-person
meetings.
A
They
have
also
reiterated
that
they
need
to
abide
to
by
the
enclosed
ordinance
regarding
meeting
location
and
filming,
as
well
as
the
attendance
policy.
So,
as
you
know,
all
of
our
meetings
are
transparent
to
the
community,
so
we
are
being
recorded
and
the
meeting
will
be
face
to
face
as
per
city
ordinance
number
2018-0-0-50,
the
re-implementation
of
face-to-face
committees
of
meeting
in
person
will
now
take
place.
A
So
on
august
4th
wednesday
5
30
we'll
be
meeting
in
this
room
to
convene
for
the
drug
and
alcohol
commission
meeting.
It
will
be
the
first
wednesday,
the
first
wednesday
of
each
month.
Yes,
that
has
not
changed
unless
the
commission
feels
that
we
need
to
move
it
to
another
time
setting
or
another
day,
but
for
the
most
part
at
the
last
meeting
we
had
discussed
the
time
and
everybody
had
agreed
to
this
time.
The
only
thing
we
were
had
already
discussed
is
that
virtual
setting
was
working.
A
Unfortunately,
that's
not
up
to
our
discretion
that,
if
that's
something
that's
being
implemented
by
the
city
and
that
we
have
to
abide
in
addition
to
that,
mr
walls
last
meeting
had
discussed
that
we
needed
to
do
the
the
open
meetings
act,
training,
and
that
is
for
everybody
who
is
a
member
and
has
been
appointed
by
the
city
and
the
county.
It
is
required
for
the
city
secretary.
So
if
you
had
done
it
a
long
time
ago,
it
is
required
and
recommended
to
redo
again.
A
E
A
A
Have
a
second
by
mr
montemayor,
all
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
of
course
not
motion
passes.
We
will
see
you
on
august
4th,
thank
you
and
stay
safe
and
healthy.
