3 I never thought my kid would be using drugs. He is a good student and a high school athlete. Who knew that he got drugs from my medicine cabinet? I felt so ashamed; I never knew it was so easy for kids to get alcohol and drugs from parents. Family counseling is our first step on the road to healing. Specialty Court: Recovery classroom Since 2008 the Ventura County Behavioral Health, Ventura County Probation Agency, and Ventura County Office of Education have collaborated to start the Gateway High School s Recovery Classroom program.

Participants are under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court and receive close probation supervision and intensive substance abuse treatment.

4 In our community In collaboration with law enforcement, educators, parents and community groups, we are taking steps to make our path for our youth a safe one and help to sustain healthy communities in Ventura County. A snapshot of our efforts: Initiated the passing of Social Host Ordinances in all of the cities and unincorporated areas of Ventura County to combat underage drinking. Social Host Ordinance s target the location in which underage drinking takes place. Private homes are the settings most frequently identified as the place of last drink among young DUI offenders in Ventura County. These laws hold individuals responsible for underage drinking events. Host Reality Parties through Straight Up Reality Improv, to teach parents about underage drinking parties. Straight Up youth want parents to face the current realities and learn how adults can help to change these dangerous social norms in Ventura County. Give educational presentations in local schools to educate teachers and parents about the dangers of alcohol and drug use. Provide cities with Alcoholic Energy Drinks warning signs in retail establishments. Partner with law enforcement targeting DUI prevention efforts. Talk to parents and youth about prescription and over-the-counter drug abuse and help to establish safe disposal bins in local police stations. Work to ensure safe alcohol retail practices in our cities. collaboration our partners Ventura County Human Agency Ventura County District Attorney Ventura County Superior Court Ventura County Office of Education Ventura County Probation Agency Ventura County Public Defender Ventura County Public Health Interface Children Family Why Ventura County Alcohol & Drug Programs?
