Local Advisory Committee on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse – County Alliance Steering Subcommittee
What is the Municipal Alliance Program?
Municipal Alliances are local planning and coordinating bodies established in all 21 counties to assess needs, set priori- ties, develop plans and implement programs that form the foundation of New Jersey's substance abuse prevention activities. New Jersey's Municipal Alliances provide over 3,800 prevention programs statewide. The Municipal Alliance program has earned national awards from Parents' Resource Institute for Drug Education, Inc. (PRIDE) and Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA), for being an outstanding network of community substance abuse prevention programs.
How Does a Municipal Alliance Committee Work?
The local governing body establishes the Municipal Alliance Committee (MAC). The members are appointed from a broad cross section of stakeholders in the community. Members include representatives from the governing body, education, health, law enforcement, civic, religious, and business organizations. From the inception of the Municipal Alliances, community volunteers have been the backbone of the program and they are parents, coaches, peer leaders, youth, seniors and others.
The 1989 legislation gave authority to the counties to administer the Municipal Alliances through the County Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Offices. Specifically, each Local Advisory Committee on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (LACADA) establishes a County Alliance Steering Subcommittee (CASS).
Utilizing a risk and protective factor framework, Municipal Alliances determine the needs of their communities and develop prevention plans to address identified priorities. The plans are submitted to the county where they proceed through a review and approval process involving the CASS, LACADA and Board of Chosen Freeholders. The approved municipal alliance plan is included in the county plan that is submitted to the GCADA for approval and funding.
Why Should I Get Involved?
Our community continues to witness unacceptable levels of illicit drug use, underage drinking, and the misuse of prescription drugs, as well as, high rates of juvenile delinquency, school
drop-outs and teen pregnancy. Research completed over the past two decades shows us that local level planning and implementation through community coalitions is an effective approach to prevent substance abuse, underage drinking, juvenile delinquency and more.
