2011 ANNUAL
REPORT
“If you talk to a man in a
language he understands,
that goes to his head.
If you talk to him in his
language, that goes to his
heart.”
- Nelson Mandela
Who We Are…
“CETPA is the first, and still only,
Latino agency to earn a Drug
Abuse Treatment License by the
State of Georgia and national
accreditation (2004-2013) by the
Commission on Accreditation of
Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) to
provide integrated outpatient
behavioral health treatment and
prevention services in Georgia in
English and/or Spanish.”
13 years later and with the help of
many people, agencies, and
organizations, we are still here.
New In 2011
Our Logo and S.A.I.
CETPA’s NEW LOGO:
In 2011, we changed our logo to reflect what we
do. So at the bottom, we added:
“Mental Health & Subtsance Abuse Sercices”
We also added it in Spanish: “Servicios de Salud
Mental y Abuso de Sustancias”
We believe this to be a clearer understanding of
what we do and who we are.
Statewide Alcohol
Initiative (S.A.I.):
The CETPA Statewide Alcohol Initiative is a prevention program funded
by the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental
Disabilities, Division of Addictive Disease, Office of Prevention Programs
and Services. Through this project we are serving Latino communities in
the cities of Dalton, Norcross, Sandy Springs, Doraville, Valdosta, Lake
Park, Savannah, and Carrollton covering five of the six regions in the
state.
The goals of this project include reducing the early onset of alcohol use
among 9-20 year olds and reducing access to alcohol and binge drinking
among 9-20 year olds.
We will achieve our goals by utilizing the Strategic Prevention
Framework and developing different strategies to address each area in a
culturally and linguistically appropriate manner.

Treatment Programs:
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES
CETPA provides individual, family and group counseling for people suffering
negative consequences from alcohol and drug use or addiction, for a
variety of mental health issues and employee assistance programs. We are
committed to provide the following professional services:
Evaluations/Assessments:
CETPA provides Substance Abuse, Mental Health, and Psychiatric
evaluations for adults and adolescents in Spanish and in English. These
evaluations are separate from the treatment evaluations which a client
receives when they are applying for admission at CETPA. The result of
these evaluations may or may not involve continued utilization of services
at CETPA. This decision is based on the results of the evaluation and other
exams.
Individual Counseling:
Sessions will be provided for clients that qualify for this level of counseling
or for clients who chose individual counseling as a form or continued care.
Family counseling:
Sessions will be provided for clients and their spouse/family to involve
them in the recovery process and to begin healing their relationships.
Group Counseling:
Different types of groups are available for clients needing ASAM Level I
treatment or higher. The minimum length of stay is usually 12 weeks.
However, depending on circumstances, the minimum length of stay for
some clients will be 18 weeks or longer.
We offer the first and only Spanish language ASAM Level II treatment in the
state of Georgia, offering a minimum of nine hours of services per week.
Treatment Programs:
Supportive Counseling:
Full hour or half-hour groups covering recovery skills and the introduction 12-Step
philosophy. These groups are integrated into Level I or Level II programs.
Online Counseling:
Through CETPA’s very own Virtual Reality Clinic , which started last year, we can
provide clients the same counseling services as we do in the office – but in the
comfort of their own home through HIPAA compliant Video Conferencing.
Group Education:
One and one-half hour education lectures are provided as part of the Level I or
Level II programs or as an added support to those in individual or family
counseling. Topics and presenters vary each time and include stress management,
communication and HIV/AIDS, among others.
Family Program:
Our family program attempts to engage the family in the process of recovery from
the beginning. The family program meets on a regular basis. Family members of
all ages are invited to attend.
Nursing Services:
As part of the admission process, our clients receive a Physical Assessment by a
nurse. The nursing services include a Physician's assessment, laboratory analysis,
tuberculosis (TB) testing, drug testing and voluntary HIV/AIDS testing.
Medication Management:
Our Medical Director provides medication management services to our clients at
CETPA. Our nurse can provide any testing necessary before a client is placed on
psychotropic medications.
Treatment Programs:
SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION PROGRAM
In the Fall of the year 2000, we launched the first bi-lingual and bi-cultural
Latino Youth Prevention Program in the State of Georgia. Since then, we
have developed a Latino Youth Prevention Program for boys and a Latina
Youth Prevention Program for girls that we currently deliver in four counties
to over 350 Latino youth. Our programs are delivered both at the schools
we serve after school hours and at our Norcross office on Saturdays.
Our programs utilize components of Latino Programs developed by the
Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), cultural
components and an alternative recreational component.
COMMUNITY EDUCATION PROGRAMS
CETPA is dedicated to educating our community about the myths and
realities of substance abuse and the common misunderstanding of mental
illness. We have criss-crossed the state providing free community education
seminars and continue to do so as part of our outreach program. To
schedule your seminar, please contact us at [email protected] or call
(770) 662-0249.
Prevention Programs:
The CETPA Prevention Programs provide prevention efforts to
the Latino community in Georgia in an attempt to increase the
awareness and the knowledge about alcohol, tobacco and other
drugs, and other risk factors. Our primary goal is to educate
children, parents and families and to help them make healthier
choices in order to avoid the pitfalls of the many risks present
today in their lives.
CETPA provides prevention efforts targeted to Latino youth
whose risk of developing substance abuse or other dangerous
behaviors is significantly higher than others by virtue of
belonging to that subgroup. We accomplish this through
community workshops, educational fairs and dissemination of
information.
In 2011, we opened the CETPA PREVENTION CLUBHOUSE. This
provided a “Safe Environment” for non-using Latino Youth to
gather for activities and learning.
In 2011, CETPA introduced the Statewide Alcohol Initiative
(S.A.I.) in 5 of the 6 regions of Georgia with the following goals:
•
•
To reducing the early onset of alcohol use among 9-20 year
olds
To reduce the access to alcohol and binge drinking among 920 year olds
