It's too early to tell for sure, but based on past history, Republican administrations tend to mean less funding, Andes says. “When President Clinton was in oce there was quite a bit of money allocated for substance abuse treatment and prevention. But with Republicans in oce, there tends to be fewer monies available for community-based, treatment and prevention services.” A licensed clinical social worker and licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor, Andes served as Director of Alcohol & Drug Treatment for almost 10 years at e Bridge, a family service agency with oces in Essex County. He has also been a clinical social worker at Newark Beth Israel’s Emergency Psychiatric Clinic.
