Substance Abuse-
The mission of GPASS-SAFE (Stop Addiction For Ever) is to strengthen communities through programs that prevent substance abuse, empower persons with drug and alcohol dependency to achieve sustained recovery, and support the loved ones of those struggling with addiction.

The mission is accomplished through a variety of seminars, workshops, treatment groups, counseling and intervention services.

SAFE provides alcohol and drug education courses, outreach training, outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment for abuse and dependency.

SAFE is a multi-cultural counseling center that offers clients who are at a disadvantage due to language barriers and cultural differences, counselors who speak English, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Cambodian and Spanish, making our program especially unique.

This state licensed program assists individuals, groups and families regardless of race, sex, religion and sexual orientation.

DUI Services
Although GPASS is the only Asian-operated organization providing DUI services, we certainly do not limit any of our services to Asians.  GPASS provides a variety of DUI services including prevention, enforcement, adjudication and rehabilitation.

We feel that if our clients are given the right information, direction, training and support we can work towards eliminating impaired drivers and the harm they cause others.

We offer clients who are at a disadvantage due to language barriers and cultural differences, counselors who speak English, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Cambodian and Spanish.  In addition, no insurance is necessary enabling us to cater to the needs of low-income clients.

DUI services at GPASS are not just restricted to the surrounding communities.  Since our DUI program is a state wide program and part of the federal system, clients can be referred here from any state, making our services even more convenient.

Here at GPASS we offer:
Court Reporting Network Evaluations (CRN): Comprehensive statewide evaluations that identify problem drinkers for the court system and determine the method of treatment/counseling necessary for recovery.
Alcohol Highway Safety Classes: The main purpose of this course is to discourage further alcohol abuse by presenting clients with alternative methods of coping with problems.  This course also focuses on understanding how alcohol or controlled substances, or both, affect highway safety, social relationships and economic functioning.
Treatment/Counseling:
Full Drug and Alcohol Assessments: These guidelines aid clinicians in determining the most appropriate care for clients with drug and alcohol dependency
The goal of the program is to educate alcohol and drug users of the health and legal consequences of their use, and prevention of future DUI’s. Most cases are referred to the DUI Program from the Court of Common Pleas, with some referral from community-based programs.
Emergency Energy
Weatherization
Reduces energy costs for low-income families, particularly for the elderly, people with disabilities, and children, by improving the energy efficiency of their homes while ensuring their health and safety.
Weatherization saves an average of 30.8% in gas space heating. This comprises a total fuel consumption reduction of 21.9%. Net savings for each home weatherized average 29.1 MBtu/year.
Reducing energy demand decreases the environmental impacts of energy production. Weatherization mitigates approximately .23 metric tons of carbon per year in a home heated primarily with natural gas. This translates into nearly one metric ton (.85) of carbon dioxide emissions avoided. For homes heated by electricity, the savings are even higher: weatherization reduces .475 metric tons of carbon annually. Weatherization also reduces emissions of methane and nitrous oxide.
Weatherization creates non-energy benefits as well, including the following, quantifiable benefits: increased property value, reduced incidence of fire, reduced arrearages, federal taxes generated from employment, income generated from indirect employment, avoided costs of unemployment benefits, environmental externalities.
Additional benefits that are difficult to quantify include: improved health and safety conditions, increased comfort for the occupants, reduction in homelessness and mobility, extended lifetime of affordable housing.
