1 Milestone 2: Position Paper Kayla Bessette HSE-330 September 29, 2020 Milestone Two: Position Paper

2 Milestone 2: Position Paper Abstract In this paper I will detail the legislation, The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and how it correlates with my particular chosen agency, “Groups”. An addiction treatment center located in Keene, NH and many other areas of the United States. It is an essential part of the society we live in today, as addiction affects those in our society almost daily. It is incredibly fast growing and detrimental issue in todays world.

In regard to “Groups” they are for this particular legislation, they believe in accessibility to services regardless of gender, social status, economic status, etc. It is incredibly important to provide this type of service to all who may need it as this epidemic is something that has strongly affected us as a society for decades. It is not a matter of “this or that” or who is entitled to receiving services more, it is a matter of it needs to be addressed and those who need the help need to know where and how to seek it. Certain aspects as far as socioeconomic status may affect this legislation and how the services are provided. It is difficult to adequately help those who may need to utilize services regarding addiction treatment, especially during times such as COVID-19 where those may not be able to seek in office treatment and may not have access to phones or computers; it
