Vision Statement The Mahoning County Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services Board will be the leading advocate and voice for all individuals seeking alcohol and drug services through effective oversight, coordination, and planning activities locally, and state-wide. What we do: The Mahoning County Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services Board is a division of Mahoning County Government that was created in 1989 by the Mahoning County Commissioners. Eighteen volunteer members comprise the Board of Directors and are charged with planning, funding and monitoring substance abuse services within Mahoning County. The Board accomplishes this goal by contracting for treatment and prevention services at State-certified, private, not-for-profit organizations for direct and preventive care for individuals and families with addictive disorders. Services include a full continuum of outpatient, inpatient, supportive and prevention services. Contract providers of the
Board are as follows: Neil Kennedy Recovery Clinic; Meridian Services,
Inc.; Youngstown Urban and Minority Alcoholism and Drug Abuse
Outreach Program; and Treatment Alternatives to Street Crime. Each
of these providers offers “niche” services along the continuum
in order to reduce duplication of effort. The Board also maintains
contractual agreements with Turning Point Counseling and Help

to adults and children with co-occurring mental health and substance
abuse disorders. Over 300 individuals are employed within this
Network of Care. |

Understanding causes of both persistent and new behaviors can help caregivers and family members alike better cope with those challenges. Alzheimer Network support groups are a very good place to learn from the experiences of others. There is no need to search for answers that someone else is willing to share. Besides care hints, each group has information available about convenient day programs, choosing an assisted living or nursing home, understanding Medicare/Medicaid and much, much more. Come and see!

Lead Hazard & Healthy Programs of Mahoning County http://www.mahoningcountyoh.gov/DepartmentsAgencies/Departments/LeadHazardAbatement/ ContactInformation/tabid/1023/Default.aspx Hours of Operations: Monday through Friday, 8:00am - 4:30pm Location: Mahoning County Lead

Lead Hazard Abatement Lead Hazard & Healthy Homes Programs Department Head Mission Statement: "Strategic planning is to assist in eliminating lead-poisoning in Mahoning County by 2010" What We Do: The Primary objective of the Mahoning County Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program is to reduce and/or eliminate lead hazards in low-to-very-low income housing in a total of eleven (11) high-risk zip codes. The target areas have very high socio-economic and environmental risk factors that demonstrate the prevalence of lead exposure. Those factors include age of housing, high poverty and crime, low proficiency scores, and concentrated ethnicity. The targeted areas have documented evidence that lead poisoning is an epidemic in Mahoning County. The goal of the Lead Hazard Control Program
is to make housing units lead safe using a combination of interim
controls and lead abatement techniques and to reduce environmental
health issues in these housing. The units must be occupied by
families with children under the age of six for lead, and under
17 years of age for healthy homes. Other goals are to conduct
the recruitment and training of minority and low-income contractors
and workers, and continue lead and asthma screenings throughout
Mahoning County. We partner with local housing organizations such
as Youngstown Community Development Agency, CHOICE, MYCAP Weatherization,
Catholic Charities, CHIP, etc. We also partner with the local
Hospitals, St. Elizabeth and Forum Health to coordinate screening
children and training/educating parents regarding lead and healthy
homes issues. Grants are available to owner-occupants and matching
funds and loans are available to landlords for lead hazard control
and healthy homes work. |
