An agreement between Lycoming County and West Branch Drug & Alcohol Abuse Commission will put $50,000 toward prevention, case management or treatment of juvenile probation clients and for the assessment and treatment of adult DUI and drug offenders.

Monies for the Act 198 fund, or the Substance Abuse Education and Demand Reduction Fund, are generated from costs imposed for violations of the Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act or driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance laws.
