Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Program (ATOD)

Youth are referred to a substance abuse counselor after an assessment is made with a parent or guardian.  Voluntary testing is discussed and a referral may be made to an (ATOD) agency.

Youth attending Safe Haven activities in a Safe Haven facility must be sober to enter and remain.  A contract is signed by youth who are participants in Safe Haven programs.

Youth who are referred for counseling and tutoring through LAUSD and the Juvenile Traffic Courts and who have completed ten (10) sessions are successful and have not become repeat offenders.

Community clean-ups are in the planning stages for some of these youth.
