Licking County Alcoholism Prevention Program

What Licking County Alcoholism Prevention Program does

Licking County Alcoholism Prevention Program (LAPP) is a non-profit community behavioral health organization founded in 1968 and headquartered in Newark, Ohio, with a secondary by-appointment office in Pataskala. It provides integrated treatment and recovery services for individuals and families experiencing substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health issues. Service lines include Adult Services, Women's Gender Specific Services, Adolescent Services, Community Services, a Reentry Program, Gambling Treatment Services, on-site AA/NA meetings, and Employer services such as EAP, DOT/SAP evaluations, and Drug Free Workplace Training. Its flagship monetized offering is the OPTIONS 72-hour Driver Intervention Program, an Ohio Department of Behavioral Health-certified residential alternative to jail for first-time OVI offenders, priced at $500 per participant.

LAPP's underlying technology is clinical rather than digital: services are delivered in person at two Ohio locations and registered via phone or walk-in, with no mobile app, no public API, and no described digital platform. The organization is CARF-accredited and certified by Ohio's Department of Behavioral Health, which together authorize it to operate state-certified SUD and behavioral health programs and accept court-referred clients. Referral demand is sourced through community partner networks including Mental Health America of Ohio, United Way of Licking County, the Licking County Chamber of Commerce, AA, NA, and MEASCNA, plus direct community and court referrals.

The business model is a hybrid of program fees (per-participant charges such as the $500 DUI program fee), donations accepted online via a third-party payment processor, and likely state and county behavioral health funding. Pricing is pay-as-you-go, with need-based financial assistance available for indigent clients contingent on state funding availability. Customer segments are horizontally diversified across individuals with SUD, DUI offenders, adolescents, women, families, reentry populations, gamblers, and employers, all served within a single Ohio county.
