A recently released State Commission on Investigation report on addiction treatment facilities found a number of abuses and failures in the regulation and oversight of facilities throughout the state. Atlantic County government case workers were among those who first brought concerns about abuses in a state-licensed sober living facility located in Atlantic County to the attention of the state which led to an FBI investigation. County Executive Dennis Levinson explained that county government receives referrals from multiple agencies for placement of individuals in sober living facilities. The county’s initial responsibility is to confirm if the referred individuals are eligible for General Assistance (GA) and Emergency Assistance (EA), which are both funded through federal and state governments.
