This week marks National Drugs and Alcohol Facts Week.  This is a time to share resources and facts, as well as raising awareness and focusing efforts on directing treatment to those who need it most. During this week, those at risk are encouraged to talk to their friends, family and health care professionals about the facts and myths surrounding drug and alcohol use. The goal of this week is to reduce the myths and stereotypes associated with drug and alcohol use, and to encourage individuals to make informed decisions about alcohol and drug use. It is important to remember that substance abuse is a preventable disease, and education is key to making sure everyone knows the potential risks of drug and alcohol use.
