PDA Task Force

Be The Solution is a program of Northern Michigan Substance Abuse Services. Our mission is to increase public awareness of the risks and potential harm associated with misuse and the extent of the prescription drug abuse problem in northern Michigan by:

Dispelling the myth that prescription drugs are safer than illicit drugs

Dispelling the perception that this is “not a problem in my community”

Creating a sense among parents that they can have an impact on reducing incidences of prescription drug abuse

Reducing the unnecessary availability of prescription drugs

Educating audiences about the environmentally safe disposal of prescription drugs

Funding
