Community Justice Collaborating Council Substance Abuse Subcommittee Work Plan Priorities Community Justice Collaborating Council (CJCC) Substance Abuse Subcommittee members discussed areas to focus their work priorities as well as determine a work plan to meet their priorities. Once completed this plan will be presented to the CJCC over site committee. After much discussion, the subcommittee members determined that Methamphetamine (Meth) would be the drug to place their initial focus. Discussion continued with a variety of ways to address the Meth issue in our area. Prevention and education seems to be a good first step so the subcommittee would like to hear from various county staff and programs on what is already available to consumers at the county level but also within area communities. This might help determine where this subcommittee should put their resources. Chair Johnson will ask that Alcohol and Other Drug (AODA) Supervisor Kristin Deprey attend the next meeting and provide information that she has. In addition, the subcommittee discussed looking into what the barriers are that consumers are dealing with in receiving or attending treatment, as well as ways to educate youth. The subcommittee will look into potential ways to survey consumers as well as how to implement a coordinated effort within the communities on education and outreach. This may include outreach to Drug Court, the jail, schools, medical community and consumer feedback. RESULT: DISCUSSED 4.
