The Problem
The impact of methamphetamine abuse reaches far beyond the individual user. Meth is increasingly destroying families and communities, straining our economy, and damaging our environment. A collaborative multi-disciplinary response that includes social services, law enforcement, education, public health and safety, and child and adolescent safety is warranted and needed.
