ALCOHOL & OTHER DRUGS (AOD) TREATMENT

If I have an alcohol or drug problem, can Tulare County help?

Yes, we can. Our Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Treatment Services offer recovery services for Tulare County residents who choose to deal with their AOD problems. We contract with service providers throughout the County to get you the help you need.

How do you find the program that will work for me?

We work through our Placement and Orientation Services (POS). POS is a consumer oriented service that simplifies access to care for all Tulare County residents by offering frequent orientation groups throughout the county in which an individual seeking help for an AOD problem will be immediately welcomed and assisted in finding the most effective level of care.
