By T.Marr After three and -one-half years of planning a much needed and long awaited service is now available to Huron County residents. On Wednesday, March 9 the Huron Council for Action on Alcohol and other Drugs (CAAD) announced it has set up an assessment and i'efetral service for people who are suffering from an alcohol or drug related problem. As well as Huron CAAD, Alexandra Marine and General Hospital, Goderich, South -Huron Hospital, Exeter, Seaforth Community Hospital, Wingham Mental Health Resource Centre, Clinton Mental Health Resource Centre and the Addiction Research Foun- dation will all be playing a major role in the program. Aidiction Research Foundation representative Bill Murdock pointed out that the two main objectives of the service are to find out the reasons causing the problem (assessment) and then develop a treatment program for the alcohol or drug hurt individual. Describing the Huron County service Murdock said, "It is a unique model and the only one of its kind." Explaining why the service is unique Murdock said, "It is a truly . co-operative system which utilizes existing'services." Instead of implementing a service which Would be operated in one specific Huron County town, the system has been set up so that it is accessible to all county residents. Alexandra Marine and General Hospital will provide. a central phone number which anyone in- cluding police, clergy, relatives or the person who is suffering from the problem, can phone if they want help_ or information. Grant Ellison the program co-ordinator, will then contact the assessment centre which is nearest to the individual's home. The centre will undertake an assessment, develop a treatment program and then one month, three months, six months and one year later Win Epilepsy draw in Huron from living an independent life, peddling his wares through the Cape Breton area.

Murdock pointed out in order for an individual's treatment plan to work each centre will ensure that a very careful and thorough assessment will be un- dertaken with the client. Calling the assessment service, "the cornerstone of the treatment program" Murdock explained, "The more specific we are in treating the problems, the better the results will be." If however, the Assessment and Referral Service or the client, decides that the specific treatment plan is not working the centre will carry out another assessment and develop a new course of action. Although the Assessment and Referral Service is a new project, funding for the program will be not be left to the taxpayers. Alexandra and Marine General Hospital has agreed to provide the telephone service and the staff at each individual assessment centre have agreed to voluntarily take on the extra work.
