The Substance Abuse Prevention and Control (SAPC) program, a division of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, has the primary responsibility of administering the County's alcohol and drug programs. With an annual budget of more than $200 million and nearly 200 employees, SAPC provides a wide array of alcohol and other drug prevention, treatment, and recovery programs and services for individuals through contracts with over 150 community-based organizations. The primary recipients of County-funded alcohol and drug treatment, recovery, and intervention services are Los Angeles County residents, particularly those who are uninsured and/or underinsured.
