About Us

The Montgomery County Drug-Free Coalition works with members of the local community such as law enforcement personnel, political leaders, health care workers, alcohol and drug treatment providers, the faith-based community, and local business people. We have several committees in which these community representatives will be involved.

The mission of Montgomery County Drug-Free Coalition  is to serve as a unified voice for citizens impacted by substance abuse and mental health disorders. By promoting awareness, prevention, best practices, and access to treatment services, members of Montgomery County Drug-Free Coalition strive to eliminate barriers to successful recovery. 

Goals:

• Enhance and expand efforts to address the specific problems of heroin and illegal prescription drug use by Montgomery County residents;   
• Strengthen and mobilize collaboration that improves community efforts to promote and implement effective, research-based prevention strategies;    
• Reduce risk factors and promote protective factors among youth and adults concerning substance abuse;    
• Strengthen family, school, community, and individual protective factors;    
• Create an environment to encourage drug-free lifestyles;   
• Implement and support evidence-based prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery programs;   
• Support people with substance abuse issues and their families;   
• Identify community service providers to help simplify access for families seeking help.
