During fiscal year 1988 the South Carolina Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse maintained its ongoing prevention, intervention, and treatment programs, while looking for new methods to reach previously underserved populations. Alcohol continued to represent the main drug of abuse in the State, accounting for 81 percent of all treatment admissions to the county alcohol and drug abuse system during the year. Cocaine was the second most commonly abused drug. The South Carolina Department of Corrections assessed 8,502 new inmates during the year and found that the current offense was related in some way to substance abuse in more than half of the offenders. The Department provides counseling, therapy, and support groups to the inmate population. Other agencies reporting activities were the South Carolina Department of Education, the State Law Enforcement Division, the Department of Mental Health, and the Vocational Rehabilitation Department.
