In accepting the honors Dr. Jeffrey Nalin, Executive Director of ECHO MALIBU Teen Treatment Center, http://www.echomalibu.com stated, “We always welcome any opportunity to do prevention work. Our ultimate hope is that we can reach youth and families early enough that they can avoid developing chemical dependency issues. ECHO’s primary function is to treat alcohol and drug addictions when they occur, but if we can prevent the addictions from occurring in the first place, it’s all the better.“
