It is often a silent partner in domestic violence, child abuse, teen pregnancy, high school dropout, and crime. It threatens families as well as the very fabric of our society. Drug abuse is a growing problem that is best addressed by comprehensive programs that combine community resources, professional intervention, and local financial support. All too often, by the time an alcoholic/addict seeks help he/she has lost employment and the health insurance benefits that go with employment. The State of Texas provides help for individuals who cannot afford drug/alcohol treatment. Access to Recovery (ATR) links people to the state-funded treatment. Through ATR, ETCADA provides a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor at the Paris office (3737 Lamar Ave 4200) to administer clinical screening/assessment and referral for those who are seel<ing help for their addiction. The counselor is available at the Par- is office one day per weel<. Because treatment is under-funded in Texas, most often clients must wait for placement. Dur- ing this interval, the ETCADA counselor offers crisis intervention and brief motivational counseling to individuals to 1<eep them engaged in the process of accessing treatment or other recommended services. The ATR counselor will determine the type and intensity of services needed by the client and when appropriate, shall address the family as a unit, provide referrals for family members, including prevention services for the children. Outreach is used to provide community awareness of the Council's services and resources. ETCADA maintains crisis help 24/7 through its toil free Help Line (800.441.8639). During 2009, our counselor saw 19 Paris residents and responded to ten (10) hotline calls.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. intemal Control Over Financial Renorting In planning and performing our audit; we considered East Texas Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for. designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of East Texas Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse's intemal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization's intemal control over financial reporting. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the organization's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report fmancial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the organization's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the organization's intemal control. A material wealmess is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the organization's intemal control. Our consideration of intemal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in intemal control that might be significant deficiencies or material wealrnesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in intemal control over financial reporting that we considered to be material wealrnesses, as defined above. PROTHRO.

East Texa.s Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse's major federal programs are identified in the sumrnary of auditors' results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws; regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of East Texas Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on East Texas Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse's compliance based on our audit. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United Sta.tes of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal prograrn occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about East Texas Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on East Texas Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse's compliance with those requirements. In our opinion, East Texas Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended August 31, 2009.
