The Detroit Substance Abuse Advisory Council, which consists of 17 members appointed by the Mayor, advises the Health Department Director on substance abuse issues. The council is the link between the Detroit Health Department Bureau of Substance Abuse and the general public. Speakers are asked to provide a written copy of their testimony. The aim of the forum is to learn what the community regards as the reasons behind and solutions for substance abuse. The Detroit Health Department has received a number of proposals from agencies and organizations that provide treatment or prevention services in Detroit.
