O’Malley establishes new Maryland Drug and Alcohol Council

Gov. Martin O’Malley signed an Executive Order on Tuesday establishing the new Maryland Drug and Alcohol Council. Although the council was originally established via Executive Order in 2004, the new council will include the Department of Transportation and the Department of Housing and Community Development as voting members, among other changes.

O’Malley was joined by Secretary of the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene John M. Colmers and Baltimore County’s acting Health Officer Dr. Greg Branch.

“Addiction has taken a toll on nearly every aspect of our society,” said O’Malley in a statement. “Using a comprehensive and collaborative approach, this Council will not only be a forum to address needed solutions, but it will establish the priorities and strategies for addiction services available for Marylanders in need. It is our obligation to ensure that those vulnerable citizens who find themselves in the clutches of addiction receive the adequate treatment they want and deserve.”

“Governor O’Malley’s support of the council will enable us to use resources more effectively and focus on the problem from a broader perspective,” Colmers said in a statement. “This collaboration will enable us to make improvements in how services are delivered, while also focusing our attention on the problem of addiction beyond health care. Involvement of the business community, the school system, and other key partners is critical to ending the grip of alcohol and drug abuse on the lives of Marylanders and their families.”

The council will consist of 10 members of the governor’s cabinet, two members of the general assembly, two members of the judiciary and eight members appointed by the governor.

The General Assembly members on the council will include state Sen. Catherine Pugh (D-Baltimore) and state Del. Kirill Reznik (D-Montgomery County). The members selected from the general assembly were appointed by the state Senate President and state House Speaker respectively.

Help for Troubled Teens and Young Adults


It is not always easy to tell a teen what to do. Any parent can vouch for this universal fact. So approaching the topic of drug or alcohol abuse is an especially tricky one. Parents only want the best for their children, but sometimes teenagers don't take it that way. If the situation in your home has reached untenable levels, a long term drug treatment program may be the best solution. Gatehouse Academy is one of the best long term drug treatment programs available for young adults. We take into account both the physical and mental aspects associated with substance abuse, thus eliminating the underlying catalysts that were contributing to a resident's addiction. Please feel free to contact us at any time for more information.

If you think that your child might have a problem with substance abuse but is too young to attend drug treatment programs, remember that most destructive college binge drinking habits are actually learned in high school. You must do what you can to change the attitudes of your children before such behaviors are allowed to cement.

Effective drug rehabilitation programs for troubled teens and young adults who are struggling with a drug or alcohol abuse problem begin with a competent staff. Clinical psychologists, experts in the fields of substance abuse, and recovering alcoholics who understand what you or your child is going through are the key to successful rehabilitation. Faculty should be completely committed to helping young adults understand that there is life after adolescence, and that the consequences of their actions right now may affect who they are for the rest of their lives.
