Upcoming Event

February 24, 2012 ASAPP'S Promise Prescription Drug Prevention Vidio Press Conference at 9:30 a.m. at the Court House basement meeting room

Prescription Drugs

The coalition is very concerned about the rates of prescription drug abuse by teens in Fulton County. 

According to the Prevention Needs Assessment survey results from 2006, 14% of Fulton County 12th graders had abused prescription amphetamines (i.e. Ritalin), 16% had abused prescription sedatives (i.e. Nembutal), 8% had abused prescription tranquilizers (i.e. Xanax) and 17% had abused prescription narcotics (i.e. Vicodin) in their lifetime.

Some upcoming campaigns and events the coalition will be conducting are a general awareness campaign aimed at parents and grandparents, a proper disposal campaign aimed at the general public and educational information at the local pharmacies. 

Next Coalition Meeting:

  Tuesday, February 14, 2012 at 9:30 am at the HFM Prevention
Council Training Center, Johnstown. Join us!
