Organization:

Community Campaigns with 14 county or city affiliates.

Drug Abuse Position Statement:

Substantial gaps in communication exist between persons informed about drug dependence and those who carry the responsibility for educating youth. Communication among the various disciplines concerned with drug dependence is poor and impedes the use of existing knowledge. The application of insights about treatment is lagging. Another problem is the uncertainty about authentic information and sources of authority.

A community action group which can identify a current as well as potential problem, determine methods of attack and coordinate case finding and rehabilitation services, is a necessity.

The voluntary agency can open up new avenues of approach, evaluate experiments and communicate their findings. The voluntary agency has the capacity to mount "crash" programs in order to change attitudes and provide expert services. It has the freedom to be innovative and evaluate government programs, together with the flexibility to complement governmental services and coordinate a spectrum of services for drug-dependent persons and their families.
