Want to know what you can do about drug abuse or drug related crimes in your community? The answer may be here on the internet.
Over the past 15 years, we have watched illicit drug use and abuse destroy communities all over the world. We have watch parents sit by helplessly as they lose their children to drugs. We have watched the lives of youth be destroyed because of their parents' addiction to drugs. So how can we take a stand against such ills in our community?
A Community-based program for substance abuse prevention is the answer. In order to rid communities of drug abuse and crimes related to drugs, we must put drug dealers out of business. Since drug trafficking and the sale of drugs are so profitable, it has become big business. The only way to put any business out of business is to decrease the demand for the product or service.
