Rural Communities and Methamphetamine

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.
