(a)
Alcoholism and drug dependence are addictive disorders and are recognized and declared to be primary, progressive and chronic diseases and a public health problem affecting the general welfare and economy of the state. The need for proper and sufficient facilities, programs and procedures within the state for the control and treatment and rehabilitation and recovery of alcohol and drug dependent persons is recognized. It is declared that the procedures for the securing of services for such persons are not punitive but rather are for the purpose of treatment of an illness affecting not only the individual involved but also the public welfare.
(b)
The policy of the state with reference to alcoholism and drug dependence is declared to be as follows:
(1)
The prevention of alcoholism and drug dependence should be accomplished in a number of ways, including public education concerning the causes, symptoms and nature of alcoholism and drug dependence. In order to so educate the public, the department shall prepare and distribute suitable educational material to the schools and interested members of the public, render assistance to suitable local agencies and provide activities promoting public interest in and information about substance abuse and dependence;
(2)
As a component of the program described in subdivision (b)(1), the department, in coordination with the department of education, shall increase efforts to educate and raise public awareness of the dangers of methamphetamine manufacture and abuse, including, but not limited to, distribution of public information materials designed to oppose methamphetamine abuse and shall direct persons suffering from the effects of methamphetamine abuse to proper treatment resources;
(3)
(A)
Programs for assisting the rehabilitation of alcohol and drug dependent persons are properly instituted, financed, and sponsored locally by interested citizens or agencies organized to:
(i)
Meet the particular needs of each local community; and
(ii)
Utilize the available personnel and facilities in each local community;
(B)
It is the policy of the state to render needed advice, guidance and assistance in the organization and conduct of such approved local facilities and to supplement local efforts and financing by providing personnel and matching grants or funds; and
(4)
Individuals who receive alcohol or drug abuse services should be required to pay the reasonable cost of counseling, assistance, treatment or rehabilitation furnished to them; however, no one should be refused assistance because of the inability to pay for such services.

The general assembly finds that any proposition to increase the legal drinking age raises many issues and involves many organizations in both the public and private sector. First, a disproportionate number of fatal highway accidents involve both people under twenty-five (25) years of age and the use of alcoholic beverages. Second, the public school system is not consistently using a curriculum that emphasizes the effects of alcoholic beverages on individuals and their communities. Third, resources for early intervention programs for high-risk children who abuse alcoholic beverages are widely scattered and often unavailable to many children. Fourth, the state does not presently operate or have a contractual relationship for residential treatment facilities for the care and treatment of children who abuse alcoholic beverages and other drugs. Fifth, sanctions for present violations of the Tennessee alcoholic beverage and beer licensing statutes concerning sales to minors are often not imposed, because of varying standards, as well as a lack of knowledge on the part of licensing authorities.

(b)
The general assembly finds that alcoholism and intoxication are matters of statewide concern.
(c)
The general assembly recognizes the character and pervasiveness of alcohol abuse and alcoholism and that public intoxication and alcoholism are health problems that should be handled by public health rather than criminal procedures, when proper facilities, procedures and services as defined and set forth in this part are available.
(d)
The general assembly finds that this health problem has been seriously neglected and that the costs and the waste of human resources caused by alcohol abuse and alcoholism are massive, tragic and no longer acceptable.
(e)
The general assembly finds that the best interests of this state demand a locally-oriented attack on the massive alcohol abuse and alcoholism problem.
(f)
The general assembly finds that the handling of intoxicated persons as criminals contributes to jail overcrowding and the consumption of resources needed for the handling of more serious and violent matters.
(g)
The general assembly finds that there is a need for alternative programs in this state for the detention and treatment of persons intoxicated or incapacitated by alcohol.
