The goals are to prevent, delay or reduce substance use and problem gambling, and the negative consequences caused by substance use and gambling behaviors , and to refer to appropriate treatment or support services those individuals with apparent symptoms of substance abuse or dependence, problem gambling, or physical, mental, emotional educational or social problems.” (OASAS – page 37)
