Hope Is NOT A Strategy To Drug Prevention



Make YOUR Home and Community
 An UNFRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT
 To Drug Use and Activity



Our Mission

We are parents and citizens, based in Southington, Ct., who are speaking up to make a difference in the fight against opiate abuse by teens and young adults. We are raising awareness about this issue, while providing support for families in crisis. We are also working with local and state authorities to make our communties unfriendly environments to drug use and drug activity.

Our Goals

* Raise awareness about the serious, life-threatening drug problem of opiate abuse that exists in our town, as in so many other suburban communities in the northeast.

      ~ Did you know that HEROIN as become the drug of choice for many suburban teens?

* Provide a network of communication and support for parents and families who are going through this nightmare of drug abuse with their teenager.

      ~ Are you or someone you know suffering in silence?  Feel alone, isolated?
We can be a support for you because we have lived it! We have REAL answers, RIGHT NOW!

* Create REAL and EFFECTIVE deterrents to drug use and drug activity in our town and yours, in order to protect our teens and young adults AND our communities.

      ~ We would welcome anyone who would like to work with us in making changes!



DID YOU KNOW  these facts about opiates??

  • Heroin has equaled crack cocaine as the greatest drug threat to CT. and is rising(per U.S.D.E.A.)
  • CT is in the "New England Pipeline," name for the distribution route of drugs which includes I95 & I91; these highways intersect in New Haven, which has become the drop off point for our area
    (per U.S.D.E.A.)
  • Demand for heroin is increasing dramatically in CT because: low price ($5 bag); high purity (70-80%); and increased availability.  This increased demand is being seen primarily among teens and young adults. (per U.S.D.E.A.)

 

All members of P4AC are volunteers, most with personal experience related to opiate addiction. The information that is shared on this website is given in the public interest in the hope that it can help to guide families in crisis. Please make your individual decisions and be responsible for your own choices as they relate to your personal situation.
