fees and scheduling

Fees for all programs and services are $50 per session unless otherwise noted. Services must be scheduled with CASAC’s Director of Program Services, Julie Franco. Fall and Winter/Spring schedules are used for school-based programs. Scheduling services as early as possible is strongly recommended due to high demand. We work on a first-come, first-served basis with recently served schools having priority. Schools committing to a comprehensive, multi-grade level approach have the highest priority. Fees for schools planning a comprehensive, multi-grade level prevention plan may be negotiated case by case.

Our evidence-based prevention programs are substance abuse interventions that have been scientifically tested and identified to be effective approaches in preventing substance abuse, as well as, increasing protective factors and decreasing risk factors for youth problem behaviors. They have been deemed “Model Programs” by the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) of the US Department of Health & Human Services.
