We Fund Jails- But not Treatment?
  Claims that adequate funding is not in place, despite the research showing:
Imagine if we locked up Diabetics, Heart Patients, for being "ill" in public knowing that there was a huge gap in treatment for their disease, and their behaviors when untreated put many including themselves at risk of injury and harm.

WE need your help to address the alcohol crisis in our state-the consequences of virtually no funding for OAD is part of the problem. 

Many Bills filed on DWI proposing Jail over Treatment.........A backwards step for Louisiana!
It appears that many of these bills do not address the root cause of our alcohol impaired driving crisis in this state. We must  address the need for treatment in an effort to reduce harms to innocent people who also become victim to our states treatment gap and lack of services.
