An estimated 1,500 substance abuse prevention and treatment professionals are meeting in Indianapolis this week as part of the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) Mid-Year Training Institute.
According to a media advisory from CADCA, the event will provide a week-long training opportunity to help participants combat youth drug use and abuse—one of the most pressing community health issues of our day. Key areas of focus include reducing impaired driving, creating tobacco-free environments and developing policies to reduce the use of marijuana, heroin, synthetic drugs and alcohol by young people.
The week will also feature a keynote address from Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy Michael Botticelli. The event starts today and runs until Thursday.
