Stop Short of Addiction Ò was developed in 1999 in response to the rising specter of youthful drug crime in Orange County. Stop Short of Addiction is an intensive program designed to specifically address the needs of first-time juvenile offenders arrested for drug related offenses.

 

Stop Short of Addiction is an alcohol, tobacco and other drugs (ATOD) intervention program to divert juvenile offenders and to educate youth and their parents about the legal aspects of drug related offenses and the life-style consequences of substance abuse.

 

The program stresses family involvement by making parental participation mandatory. Parents will be made aware of their child’s drug use and acquire a better understanding of the signs and symptoms of drug use as it pertains to their child. Stop Short of Addiction will focus on:

  • Accountability for their actions

  • Accepting consequences for their behavior

  • Skills to make better decisions

  • Resistance to peer pressure

  • Knowledge of the biological and psychological affects of drugs/alcohol

  • An understanding of addiction, its causes, and consequences

  • Family communication and conflict resolution

  • Understanding the laws pertaining to substance abuse

  • Empowering families to access treatment services
