“Stress Induced Drug Abuse”- 1000-1100 ET - All of us have stress in our lives, but stress means different things to different people and causes all sorts of reactions. Some of us can handle things internally, while others look for something to make them feel better, often drugs and alcohol. Scientific research has shown a strong link between stress and substance abuse. It's also one of the most powerful triggers for relapse, even after long periods in recovery. There are also links between substance abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. During this hour-long broadcast, learn why stress often leads to substance abuse and how the brain responds. See how rates of alcohol and drug abuse increase after traumatic events like military service, terrorist attacks, and natural disasters. Here first-hand how many people struggling with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina are looking for stress relief, often in dangerous ways. Find out how to identify who is at risk and see what treatment options work.

“Drug Epidemics: Meth to Mothballs” - 1100-1200ET - Methamphetamine is getting lots of media attention recently, but is it really the "hot drug" in your community? Young people and others are using many different kinds of drugs to get high, some you may not have even heard of. How do you know what is really causing the problems in your community? It might be the drug that's the most well-known, or it might not be. During this hour-long broadcast, take a look at statistics about what the problems are in different parts of the country. Learn about tools that will help you see the patterns about who is doing what and where. See how one coalition is making a difference, and can prove it. Learn how to use their ideas in your community. Also, see how epidemiology, a big word that doesn't have to be frightening, can help you prove your point so you and your coalition can be proactive instead of reactive in the fight against drugs.
