"The Prescription Drug Epidemic"A Coalitions Story ....Documentary Trailer

Appalachian Substance Abuse Coalition's documentary trailer: "Prescription Drug Epidemic" A Coalitions Journey". ASAC began in 2001 as a community response to the hundreds of prescription drug deaths that led to family destruction, economic decline, higher than state average crime rates and many other social problems. Watch their pioneering strategies in the ares of substance abuse prevention, treatment and recovery which have led to significant reductions in the associated death rates.

The free documentary is available with a booklet to facilitate discussion with various populations such as coalitions, physicians, patients, employers, employees, students, parents, faith-based organizations and the general public. ASAC serves the Virginia Counties of Buchanan, Dickenson, Lee, Russell, Scott, Tazewell, Washington, Wise & the City of Norton.
