McHenry County Substance Abuse Coalition - The McHenry County Substance Abuse Coalition serves everybody that lives in McHenry County. The coalition is made up of over 70 agencies and organizations that work with parents and youth to address substance abuse issues in our community. Our goals are to: reduce substance abuse in the county, increase awareness of and access to services, reduce stigma related to addiction, and change the community social norms that encourage abuse of substances. We are currently working on underage drinking, illegal consumption of marijuana, prescription medication/illegal opioids. We have established with law enforcement county-wide focus on opioids through naloxone training, police portal of treatment,and addiction training. We are currently working with superintendents to determine the best ways to incorporate drug education in the middle and high schools.
