THE THERAPEUTIC VALUE OF ONE ADDICT HELPING ANOTHER

What is the Area Service Committee ?


     The Area Service Committee (ASC or in our case the GTASC) is a service body that meets the needs of the groups in an area. It is comprised of Group Service Representatives (GSR's), an executive committee (chair, vice-chair, secretary, treasurer and their alternates), and sub- committee chairs.

The sub-committees offer specialized services that in one way or another help the groups.

Why have an ASC ?


     We have found that an area service body not only prevents duplication of service but also centralizes the common services that all groups might need. For example, literature, meeting lists and a phoneline are all common services that each group benefits directly from.
