Coalition Director Lori Springer had met far too many young people whose parents were incarcerated for drug-related crimes. She and other community advocates sought to do something about it. The remedy has been a Dose of Prevention. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cPrevention works. It is cheaper than treatment or to lock somebody up. Substance abuse takes too many lives and ruins too many lives. It affects their family and their community,\u201d Springer said.<\/p>\n

Organizing the community wasn\u2019t difficult.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was like throwing a rock into a pond. We had a ripple effect,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Before Springer knew it, she had all sectors of the community at the ready to assist her in providing memorable educational activities that have raised awareness of illicit drug use, alcohol and over-the-counter and prescription drug abuse.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s why CADCA and the Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA) selected the Shelby County Drug Free Coalition in Shelbyville, Ind., as its first place winner of the 2016 Dose of Prevention Award.<\/p>\n

The coalition received the award for its comprehensive approach to help raise awareness of medicine abuse in their community during National Medicine Abuse Awareness Month\u2019s CADCA 50 Challenge in October.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile prescription and over-the-counter medicines are safe and necessary for many people, too many teens are abusing these drugs to get high. That\u2019s why we\u2019re glad to recognize the Shelby County Drug Free Coalition, which is utilizing a comprehensive approach to educate and address medicine abuse in their community,\u201d Gen. Arthur T. Dean, CADCA chairman and CEO, told the audience at CADCA\u2019s 26e<\/sup> annual National Leadership Forum awards luncheon last month in the Washington, D.C., area.<\/p>\n

Springer accepted the award on behalf of her coalition. She said that the abuse of medicines \u2013 both prescription and over-the-counter products \u2013 continues to be a problem in her community, located about 20 minutes away from Indianapolis. The misuse of over-the-counter cough and cold medicines to get high usually involves medicines that contain the cough-suppressant dextromethorphan, with many teens intentionally taking large doses of these medicines in order to get high.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have learned that we have to listen to our children, really hear them,\u201d the great-grandmother said. \u201cWe think that it is important to know the terms and what the kids are talking about because sometimes, as parents, we tune our kids out and don\u2019t always listen. And things change so quickly, so we want to make sure we are out in front of parents and the community on substance abuse issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of National Medicine Abuse Awareness Month, the coalition encouraged parents to converse about safe medicine use with their children as young as kindergarten and middle school students participated in the coalition\u2019s essay contest about a person in their life who kept them away from drugs. The coalition held a special breakfast and educated parents, youth and government officials about the dangers of abusing OTC and Rx. Its youth coalition also held other educational events throughout their community.<\/p>\n

The Dose of Prevention second place award went to Seckman High School, Students Against Destructive Decisions chapter in Imperial, Mo., and third place went to the Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention in New Port Richey, Fla.<\/p>\n

CADCA urges coalitions to help raise awareness about the dangers of prescription and over-the-counter medicine abuse by taking part in NMAAM and the CADCA 50 Challenge.
