Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition: Adair County

 
According to the Preferred Family Health Care website, the Adair County Drug Coalition was founded July 2003 with the intent of minimizing and eradicating Methamphetamine usage in Adair County.  With the effort to focus more toward alcohol tobacco and other drug usage the Adair County Drug Coalition widened its areas of interest to include not just methamphetamine, but marijuana, alcohol, tobacco, inhalants, and prescription drug usage as well. 
According to the 2011 Status Report on Missouri’s Substance Abuse and Mental Health Problems, in 2009 131 arrests were related to drugs and there were 24 Methamphetamine Lab incidents in Adair County.  Also, in 2010 out of 148 probation/parole admissions 46 were due to drugs and 11 were due to DWI.   There is a serious need for the participation in Substance Abuse Prevention Coalitions in Adair County to minimize on these issues.  The support that they currently have is feasible, but there needs to be greater effort from the community leaders to make this coalition successful.  This means involving leaders from all areas of the community including law enforcement, politicians, business owners, school teachers, high school student council members, pastors, and any other influential community leaders.
