Starting with a legal prescription can be a pathway to an addiction. The risk is especially great if the patient exceeds dosage and/or frequency recommendations.

Do your part to prevent addiction:
- Visit with your doctor about alternatives for pain management.
- Tell your doctor about risk factors you have for addiction.
- Ask your provider about risks of any medication recommended.
- Always follow the dosage and schedule as prescribed.
- Stop taking the medication as soon as you no longer need it.

Prevention works!

The Drug-Free Communities Act of 1997 was a turning point for prevention. Advocated for by CADCA and signed into law by President Clinton, this groundbreaking legislation redirected federal resources to community-based coalitions focused on reducing youth substance use.

By empowering local leaders to develop tailored prevention strategies, the DFC Act has proven that the most effective solutions come from the communities themselves. Nearly 30 years later, the power of prevention continues to grow, thanks to coalitions nationwide dedicated to building healthier, safer communities.

If your coalition is ready to expand its impact, apply for DFC funding here: cdc.gov/overdose-prevention/php/drug-free-communities/index.html
