Drug Abuse

 

Pay-for-addiction-treatment-programs-with-drug-bust-money

Objective: Prevent drug dependency, and help addicts receive appropriate treatment

How do we do this?

  • When law enforcement collaborates with treatment facilities, drug users recover
  • Use money seized from drug busts to pay for treatment centers
  • High school uses drama department to educate parents about drug abuse
  • Killing drug dealers doesn't work. Legalization does.
  • Researchers are developing a "vaccine" for cocaine
