Juniata Valley Tri-County Drug and Alcohol Abuse Commission
Single County Authority In order to receive state and federal treatment and prevention funding, counties are required to designate SCAs responsible for program planning and the administration of federal and state-funded grants and contracts.
Some of the Commonwealth's 67 counties have created joinders with other counties for this purpose, resulting in the establishment of 49 SCAs.
Four types of administrative structures exist:
the Executive Commission (Public),
the Executive Commission (Private),
the Planning Council and
the Independent Commission.
These four structures provide counties with flexibility in how they choose to administer programs by allowing for the establishment of either
a public entity within its local government structure,
a private non-profit body, or
an entity
under the auspices of the county mental health/mental retardation programs.
The Juniata Valley Tri-County Drug & Alcohol Abuse Commission provides funding for drug and alcohol treatment for adults and adolescents in Huntingdon, Mifflin and Juniata counties who do not have insurance or are unable to pay for services on their own.
We are contracted with facilities around the state of Pennsylvania to provide a full continuum of care.
