WHO PAYS FOR ADDICTION?

The Total Cost
We All Pay

In the United States, addicts and abusers spend more than $64 billion annually
on illicit drugs, according to the Office of National Drug Control Policy
(ONDCP). Experts in law enforcement estimate that over 60% of the revenue used
to feed addiction comes from crime. Money also comes from family members,
unaware that their life savings are disappearing.

MY ADDICTION

My Story
Rachel from Cleveland, Ohio

Hi, my name is Rachel, and I’m an alcoholic and an addict. Today, I have 11
months of sobriety, and life has gotten so much better since I got sober! But
before that happened… My partying began in middle school, when I started to feel
awkward, out of place, and extremely nervous.

DRUG AWARENESS AND PREVENTION INC.

 
OUR VISION. OUR MISSION.
 
To lessen the demand for illicit drugs through education.
 
FDA cracking down on teen's 'Juul' vapes
 * FDA cites 40 retailers for violations related to youth sales of JUUL
   e-cigarettes
 * Agency announces a new blitz of retail establishments targeting youth sale
   violations
 * Agency takes new action to examine youth appeal of JUUL
 * Agency takes steps to foreclose online sales of JUUL to minors
 * These are the first steps in a new effort aimed at stopping youth use of
   e-cigarette

Protecting our nation’s youth from the dangers of tobacco products is among the
most important responsibilities of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration – and
it’s an obligation I take personally. We recognize that if the FDA is to end the
tragic cycle of successive generations of nicotine and tobacco addiction, we
must take every opportunity to disrupt that process where it starts: youth
access to and use of tobacco products.

That’s why, as part of our comprehensive plan announced in July, we’re pursuing
a policy to prevent future generations from becoming addicted in the first place
by rendering cigarettes minimally or non-addictive. A key part of that plan was
establishing the foundational framework for regulating non-combustible tobacco
products for adults, like e-cigarettes.

THE EPIDEMIC

Why is Heroin Use on the rise?

Opioid prescription drug dependence is at an epidemic level in the United
States.  At a street price of $1 per milligram, Rx addiction becomes very
expensive.  Regulations designed to make it more difficult to abuse prescription
painkillers are leading to an increase in heroin addiction.  Heroin is the
street alternative to opiate pills.  A balloon of heroin (approx.. 1/10 of a
gram) retails on the street for about $10 in Columbus, Ohio.

 * One in five teens (4.5 million) has abused Rx drugs
 * One in three teens surveyed say ther is “noting wrong” with abusing
   prescription drugs” every once in a while.
 * The truth of the matter is, once you get involved with heroin – you have to
   fight your way out.

Beating Ohio's Heroin Epidemic Begins in Kindergarten

Director Nancy Pommerening was recently inverviewed by Kevin Niedermier at WKSU
radio, Kent State University.  The result was an article titled "Beating Ohio's
Heroin Epidemic Begins in Kindergarten."

The article came about as a result of Attorney General DeWine's recent summit on
the current opiate crisis facing Ohio that was held in Cleveland, Ohio on April
1,  2016  called "Taking Back Our Communities."  At that summit, AG DeWine asked
Pommerening to talk about the Brain Power program. 

There was great interest from the audience in the concept of prevention through
early and consistent education.  Further in the inteview, there is a segment
from Jeanne Senchak, a counselor from the Austintown Schools, one of the first
adopters of the Brain Power program.  Mrs. Senchak explains how the program
actually works in a public school setting.  The audio version that was broadcast
on public radio's Ideastream is available here:
