 PCPA Position Paper: Drug & Alcohol Licensing Problems & Recommendations for Changes
The Pennsylvania Community Providers Association (PCPA) released the
draft paper to present the problems and recommendations to PCPA members
prior to presenting the recommendations to the Commonwealth drug and
alcohol licensing agency. The paper cites problems related to drug and
alcohol licensing experienced by members.
PCPA members noted that the Commonwealth's current licensing regulations
created barriers that decrease access to services for consumers seeking
treatment. The recommendations note consumers facing barriers to service
may have higher emergency department utilization or may become
incarcerated, both of which are more costly than providing drug and
alcohol treatment.
