Please Contact Your U.S. Senators and Representatives Today and Ask Them to Make Sure that Addiction and Mental Health Services Are Fully and Equitably Included in National Healthcare Reform
Message: Experts agree that addiction and serious mental illness are chronic diseases that can be prevented and treated effectively. Including the full continuum of mental health and addiction prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and recovery support services in healthcare reform will improve the quality of life for millions of Americans and dramatically reduce healthcare costs.
Action: Members of Congress will be in their home districts during the week of June 29th for the July 4th Congressional recess. Please call your U.S. Senators and Representatives today and ask them to make sure that addiction and mental illness prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and recovery supports are fully and equitably included in national healthcare reform. Find your Members of Congress by visiting http://www.congress.org/ and entering in your zip code or by calling the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

SB 268 is an incredibly dangerous piece of legislation that will force approximately 90% of ADP-licensed residential treatment facilities to close by imposing zoning and building code requirements that will be impossible to meet. Clients, Counselors, and Programs will all be forced out into the street.
The bill will be heard in the Assembly Health Committee sometime before July 10.
Senator Tom Harman from Orange County wrote this bill to deal with the ongoing situation in Newport Beach where the City Council has tried to force sober living and treatment facilities to close their doors. But the bill applies across the entire state. Read the entire newsletter here.
