For over 20 years, our nation has been facing an epidemic that continues to devastate families and communities. We must ensure our children and families are educated about the dangers of experimenting with or turning to drugs for help. This effort must begin in our schools, churches, and communities if we are to STOP this preventable crisis.
From marijuana to heroin, communities are dying. Each overdose or poisoning from drugs reaches far beyond the individual—it tears through families, friendships, and neighborhoods. The time to act is now.
The purpose of this website is to educate families and the community about prescription drugs and some potential consequences of misusing, abuse or overusing prescription drugs. This includes taking any prescription medications that are not prescribed to you which is also illegal. My goal is help people better understand the disease of addiction and the recovery process and thus bring people suffering from addiction and their families and friends hope for the future. This website is a collection of links and resources.
