The competitive grant program will give recipient states, territories, the District of Columbia and tribal organizations broad discretion to design and implement federally supported voucher programs to pay for a range of effective, community-based, substance abuse clinical treatment and recovery support services. By providing vouchers to people in need of treatment, the grant program promotes individual choice for substance abuse treatment and recovery services. It also expands access to care, including access to faith- and community-based programs, and increases substance abuse treatment capacity.

– 2:00 PM ET Sponsor’s Brief Program Description: Club Drugs & Raves- - Raves are late-night dance parties that are held in dance clubs or at temporary venues such as warehouses, open fields, parks or empty buildings. Some simply take place in suburbia in the homes of youth whose parents are out of town. The rave trend started in Europe in the eighties and became prevalent in most metropolitan areas of the U.S. by the early nineties. For more… see the expanded program description at the link below. Marijana - Research shows that recurrent or frequent use of marijuana suppresses the immune system, damages brain cells and decreases short-term memory, attention span and motivation. Effects of the drug range from sensory distortions, an altered sense of time, loss of short-term memory, loss of balance and difficulty in completing thought processes to anxiety, panic, hallucinations, delusions and paranoia. Marijuana affects necessary skills for safe driving—alertness, the ability to concentrate, coordination and reaction time. It also makes it difficult to judge distances and react to signals and signs on the road. For more… see the expanded program description at the link below.

Sponsor’s Brief Program Description: For the last six years children have listed drugs as the most important problem they face. Drug use can quickly turn to dependence and addiction, trapping users in a vicious cycle that destroys families and ruins lives. Drug testing has been shown to be an effective tool in preventing student drug use. The expectation that students may be randomly tested is enough to make some youth stop using drugs—or never start in the first place. Drug testing is also an excellent tool for getting students who won’t or can’t stop because of dependence the help they need to stop. While drug testing policies appear to provide a strong tool for schools to use in the battle to reduce drug use among teens, there are legal, financial, educational and privacy issues that must be considered by communities that want to implement or continue random drug testing policies. While the debate continues over drug testing in schools, studies show that random drug testing polices can be an effective tool in reducing the use of drugs among our nation’s school-aged youth.

Time: 1:00 – 2:00 PM ET Sponsors: MCTFT & DEA Register On-Line Here Sponsor’s Brief Program Description: Drugs kill and injure thousands of people each year—over 22,000 deaths were attributed to drugs in 2002. Drug use damages the brain in lasting ways. A longitudinal study supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) found that alcohol and substance abuse during early years was significantly related to later psychiatric disorders. After methamphetamine use is stopped, at least 6-12 months of symptoms remain; including paranoia, profound depression, and psychosis. Marijuana users are at an increased risk for strokes. Studies suggest that Ecstasy use may lead to brain changes. PET scans among meth users have revealed substantial cell death in various regions of the brain. But for the average American citizen, who does not use illicit drugs, what does all this mean? Do these facts deter drug use? Do they matter to us? Join this program to find out why these facts do matter. Expanded program description at: Drugs and Society: The True Cost to YOU
