Problem: Teen Rx abuse is on the riseBut Why? Rx medications are easy to getBut Why Here? 3 pain clinics are located within the county

• Provide Information—Town Hall Meeting; Media stories; billboards• Build Skills—Provide CME training on proper prescribing and

addiction• Provide Support—Establish relationship with treatment programs to

collaborate with law enforcement, schools, healthcare, etc. for referrals

• Access / Barriers—Collaborate with law enforcement to increase patrols within one mile radius of pain clinics during hours of operation

• Change Consequences – Promote and encourage licensing boards to monitor and enforce appropriate prescribing practices and medical record documentation of medical examinations and patient diagnosis

• Physical Design— Lock you meds campaign/disseminate lockboxes• Policies or Regulations—Support legislation increasing penalties for

physicians with unscrupulous prescribing practices; work with zoning board to increase zoning restrictions for “pill mills” in residentially zoned areas.

Roane County Anti-Drug Coalition, TN

Strategy 1 Providing Information

• Woonsocket Prevention Coalition in Woonsocket, Rhode Island implemented widespread media campaigns to raise awareness about the dangers of prescription drug abuse in their communities utilizing traditional and social media.

• Council Rock Coalition for Healthy Youth, Newtown PA debuted a PSA at their local movie theaters to remind patrons to “Mind Your Meds” by discouraging sharing and encouraging proper disposal.

Strategy 2: Enhancing Skills

• NCADD of Middlesex County, East Brunswick, NJ - Delivered community education presentations to enhance the skills of community members and provided training for emergency responders on the proper use of naloxone to treat overdoses.

• Blount County Substance Abuse Action Team in Maryvale, Tennessee provides Drug Recognition Education (DRE) training for law enforcement.

• Alamance Citizens for a Drug Free Community in Snow Camp, NC taught over 250 5th and 6th graders to understand a medicine label and safely store medications though the OTC Medicine Safety curriculum.

Strategy 3: Providing Support • Shelby County Drug Free Coalition in Indiana provided

local pharmacies with materials on prescription drug abuse to dispense with prescriptions.

• Roane County Anti-Drug Coalition, Kingston, Tennessee distributed materials to funeral homes to encourage individuals to have their homes monitored during the funeral and remove medications.

• SAFE Coalition of Hunterdon and Somerset, NJ provides Rx education to the attending residents at their regional hospital on proper prescribing to reduce addiction.

Strategy 4: Enhancing Access or Reducing Barriers

• Drug-Free Collier County, based in Naples, Florida has 11 permanent drop boxes so residents can easily dispose of medications and also offer drug disposal, or deactivation, packets which are biodegradable and can safely be disposed of with normal trash.

• Jackson County Anti-Drug Coalition, West Virginia developed a Quitline to improve access to resources and treatment.

• SAFE Coalition of Hunterdon and Somerset, NJ distributes warning labels for pharmacy bags in English and Spanish; Distributed lockboxes to all homes involved in Juvenile Court.

Strategy 5: Changing Consequences

• The ASAP coalition in Maine recognizes participating physicians and pharmacists partners with a responsible business award at annual event and window cling.

• In New Jersey, the SAFE coalition requires all 11th graders and a parent to attend a “Path from Pills to Heroin” educational event or they are not eligible for a parking spot their senior year of high school.

Strategy 6: Change Physical Design

• Jackson County Anti-Drug Coalition, West Virginia purchased an incinerator to dispose of all returned medicines in their community.

• The Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma installed a permanent medicine drop off box in the lobby of their police station and also partnered with local homebuilders to ensure that the installation of one locking medicine cabinet is standard in every new home that is built.

• DFC coalitions in 4 Florida counties are giving out 40,000 drug disposal pouches as part of a research project.

Strategy 7: Modifying and Changing Policies

• Sylvania Community Action Team (S.C.A.T.) in Ohio partnered with local schools to implement clear and strict policies related to the possession of illegal and prescription drugs on school grounds.

• Tennessee coalitions worked collaboratively to pass a Good Samaritan law.

• Missouri coalitions, led by ACT Missouri, are advocating to bring the PDMP to their state. St. Louis County is not waiting – they are creating their own local PDMP.

In Closing • The comprehensive coalition approach remains the best local

solution to address any public health threat – and is especially critical with the complex opioid and heroin crisis we face as a nation.

• Data shows that DFC coalitions are having success in this area and CADCA’s National Coalition Institute is a factor in making coalitions more effective.

• CADCA is providing technical assistance, advocacy and communications tools that can help more communities “wake up” to this epidemic.
