Drug and Alcohol Recovery Services for Westmoreland Residents
There is reason to have hope: recovery from substance abuse is possible and Westmoreland County provides a broad range of services that are easily accessed by anyone who needs them. The Westmoreland Drug and Alcohol Commission, Inc. (WeDAC) is the Single County Authority (SCA) for Westmoreland County and provides oversight to prevention, intervention, treatment, Case Management and Recovery Support Services. It is also the source of funding for those who are uninsured and underinsured, to help them access treatment services. Individuals can come into any SPHS treatment office in Westmoreland County to access this service or they can meet with a Drug and Alcohol Case Manager in a community setting. The Drug and Alcohol Case Management Unit employs Certified Recovery Specialists (CRS) who are individuals in long term recovery who offer peer support and engagement to people before, during and after treatment services. Because they have experienced substance abuse and have been through recovery, they have personal expertise and empathy to offer. They are community-based and act as advocates and guides, fully prepared to help individuals to navigate the recovery process by accompanying them to meetings and connecting individuals to the recovery community and supports within the county. They facilitate a family support program, funded by the SCA, free of cost to attendees. To access CRS, contact 1-800-220-1810. WeDAC is an administrative office and its direct services are subcontracted to Southwestern Pennsylvania Human Services (SPHS) Drug and Alcohol (D&A) Case Management Unit. Elizabeth Comer, MSW, is the Director of Clinical and Case Management Services for the Westmoreland Drug and Alcohol Commission. She can be reached at 724-243-2220 Ext. 4450.
