Drug Free Charlotte County

Drug Free Charlotte County We work every day to prevent addiction through community awareness, education, and strong partnerships

Drug Free Charlotte County works to prevent substance use among people of all ages. Specifically, we work with youth - students at all Charlotte County middle and high schools, to change the 'norm'. The perception among students often, is that ALL their peers are drinking or doing drugs. We know from annual, anonymous surveys of those same students, that MOST do not use alcohol or other drugs.
