We hope those who are in the field of keeping our communities safe from drug abuse find this part of the website helpful to your work.

In 2006, MEADA sponsored the first ever Medical Minds & Meth conference. As a response to our local health care providers expressing a need in more information surrounding the issue of Meth, we sponsored this conference.

Treatment Admissions – One tool often accessed to keep up to date on drug trends is to utilize treatment admissions as a way of tracking the prevalence of a certain drug use. MEADA believes treatment works and we will continue those in the field of recovery from chemical abuse.

Treatment Admissions – An additional tool that is very helpful in tracking drug abuse trends are various surveys of specific populations that provide us with in depth information into reported drug abuse.
