“CETPA is the first, and still only, Latino agency to earn a Drug Abuse Treatment License by the State of Georgia and national accreditation (2004-2013) by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) to provide integrated outpatient behavioral health treatment and prevention services in Georgia in English and/or Spanish.” 14 years later and with the help of many people, agencies, and organizations, we are still here.

GEN-Rx is a new initiative to prevent prescription drug misuse and abuse. This program, funded by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities aims to educate the public about the proper use of prescription drugs, proper storage and the disposal drugs. Gen-Rx is a response to the growing epidemic of prescription drug abuse among youth and young adults in GA. Nonmedical use of prescription drugs has grown substantially since the 1990’s and is responsible for an increasing number of emergency room visits and overdose deaths. The general project objectives are: 1. Decrease availability of prescription drugs for 12-25 year olds. 2. Decrease access to prescription drugs for 12-25 year olds. 3. Increase peer and family norms that discourage prescription misuse/abuse among 12-25 year olds. 4. Increase the perception prescription drug risk/harm in youth, young adults, family, community members and providers. The project will follow the the methods of SAMHSA/ CSAP Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF). This method uses a five-step process known to promote youth development, reduce risk-taking behaviors, build assets and resilience, and prevent problem behaviors across the life span. The Strategic Prevention Framework Steps require to systematically: •Assess their prevention needs based on epidemiological data, •Build their prevention capacity, •Develop a strategic plan, •Implement effective community prevention programs, policies and practices, and •Evaluate their efforts for outcomes.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICESCETPA provides individual, family and group counseling for people suffering negative consequences from alcohol and drug use or addiction, for a variety of mental health issues and employee assistance programs. We are committed to provide the following professional services:Evaluations/Assessments:CETPA provides Substance Abuse, Mental Health, and Psychiatric evaluations for adults and adolescents in Spanish and in English. These evaluations are separate from the treatment evaluations which a client receives when they are applying for admission at CETPA. The result of these evaluations may or may not involve continued utilization of services at CETPA. This decision is based on the results of the evaluation and other exams.Individual Counseling:Sessions will be provided for clients that qualify for this level of counseling or for clients who chose individual counseling as a form or continued care.Family counseling:Sessions will be provided for clients and their spouse/family to involve them in the recovery process and to begin healing their relationships.Group Counseling:Different types of groups are available for clients needing ASAM Level I treatment or higher. The minimum length of stay is usually 12 weeks. However, depending on circumstances, the minimum length of stay for some clients will be 18 weeks or longer.We offer the first and only Spanish language ASAM Level II treatment in the state of Georgia, offering a minimum of nine hours of services per week. Treatment Programs:
Supportive Counseling:Full hour or half-hour groups covering recovery skills and the introduction 12-Step philosophy. These groups are integrated into Level I or Level II programs. Online Counseling: Through CETPA’s very own Virtual Reality Clinic , which started last year, we can provide clients the same counseling services as we do in the office – but in the comfort of their own home through HIPAA compliant Video Conferencing. Group Education:One and one-half hour education lectures are provided as part of the Level I or Level II programs or as an added support to those in individual or family counseling.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION PROGRAMIn the Fall of the year 2000, we launched the first bi-lingual and bi-cultural Latino Youth Prevention Program in the State of Georgia. Since then, we have developed a Latino Youth Prevention Program for boys and a Latina Youth Prevention Program for girls that we currently deliver in four counties to over 350 Latino youth. Our programs are delivered both at the schools we serve after school hours and at our Norcross office on Saturdays.Our programs utilize components of Latino Programs developed by the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), cultural components and an alternative recreational component.COMMUNITY EDUCATION PROGRAMSCETPA is dedicated to educating our community about the myths and realities of substance abuse and the common misunderstanding of mental illness. We have criss-crossed the state providing free community education seminars and continue to do so as part of our outreach program. To schedule your seminar, please contact us at pmancini@cetpa.org or call (770) 662-0249. Treatment Programs:
The CETPA Prevention Programs provide prevention efforts to the Latino community in Georgia in an attempt to increase the awareness and the knowledge about alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, and other risk factors. Our primary goal is to educate children, parents and families and to help them make healthier choices in order to avoid the pitfalls of the many risks present today in their lives.CETPA provides prevention efforts targeted to Latino youth whose risk of developing substance abuse or other dangerous behaviors is significantly higher than others by virtue of belonging to that subgroup. We accomplish this through community workshops, educational fairs and dissemination of information. Our programs include: • The CETPA Prevention Clubhouse • The Statewide Alcohol Initiative • The NEW GEN-Rx Program Prevention Programs:
