Hazel Pittman Center

Hazel Pittman Center The Chester County Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse was established in 1974 as a private, non-profit organization

EDUCATION: Educational services are designed to help individuals understand substance use disorders and other behavioral health problems, as well as identify personal factors that may increase risk level. Referrals can be made by employers, court system officials, school personnel, and parents or family members. While educational services can be provided individually, they are offered most often in groups. PREVENTION: The purpose of prevention is to educate community members on healthy lifestyles where alcohol and drugs are only used in legal and responsible ways. The Hazel Pittman Center offers an array of Prevention programs that implement various strategies to help prevent substance abuse and promote healthy lifestyles. TREATMENT & COUNSELING: Treatment is a process that leads to change, and it “looks” different for everyone. Qualified staff guide the process by employing their education and learned therapeutic skills, along with evidence-based techniques and resources. The Hazel Pittman Center provides outpatient services. This means that people appropriate to receive clinical services from our staff are medically and emotionally stable and not in need of detoxification or inpatient services. While we can and will refer to other agencies for more intensive care, our clients do not have to leave their homes for more than a few hours to participate in treatment. Most attend counseling sessions between 1-4 times per week and remain in services until they have achieved their desired goals

Be part of the majority.

77% of youth are alcohol-free—and that’s worth celebrating. Let’s keep this number growing.

Most young people are making healthy choices, and prevention efforts continue to make a difference.

Adults play a role too—keep alcohol out of the hands of youth.

Alcohol affects the brain—impacting decision-making, memory, and reaction time.

These changes increase the risk of injury, impaired judgment, and dangerous situations.

Excessive drinking can be dangerous and even life-threatening.

Understanding the risks is an important step in preventing harm and protecting our community.

Adults play a critical role in prevention. Keep alcohol out of the hands of youth—because prevention starts with us.

Most overdoses happen in the presence of others.

That means someone nearby has the opportunity to act—and potentially save a life.

Narcan (naloxone) can reverse an opioid overdose and restore breathing, but knowing what to do in those moments is just as important.

Hazel Pittman Center is providing free Narcan and brief training to help community members feel prepared and confident in an emergency.
