[Prevention] substance abuse prevention program

[Fochesato, Melissa]

FYI, I sent this question to the Director of our Addiction Resource Center who said they do this for college students "all the time" - so if you run into anyone in the Mid Coast area, feel free to send them to ARC for a free initial screening and assistance getting this requirement met.

Hope some of you are enjoying the little bit of sun peeking out occasionally.

Hi Anne,



I received a call from a  young lady, she's 19 and is going to college
in Colorado.  She was drinking with some friends out there and they felt
that she had consumed enough alcohol to warrant bringing her to the
hospital.  I didn't get all the details but I'm assuming that the
hospital reported the incident, she had a court date, and the court
mandated that she complete some type of alcohol prevention
program/diversion program (?), to be completed by July 14th (the
incident occurred in March).  She is vacationing in Maine at the moment
and would like to complete a program here if possible, but her mother
lives in New Hampshire so if there was something available for her there
she could manage that as well.



Do you know of anything in Maine that she could participate in (or NH)?
She wasn't driving so that eliminates DEEP.  Could you put the question
out to the SPF-SIG listserv to see if anyone else has any suggestions,
or might be running a program themselves that this girl could attend?



Thanks,

Adrienne
