I loved hearing about all of the great prevention and recovery efforts happening in Orange County. The CASAC scholarship program funded by opioid settlement funds is particularly popular and successful!
Nearly 70 people are on the waiting list for the Alcohol and Drug Awareness Council of Orange County School of Addiction Studies. @DrChinazoOASAS visited the site to learn more about the program's success, which was made possible from opioid settlement funds. #EveryStepOfTheWay
