The Drug-Free Communities Act of 1997 was a turning point for prevention. Advocated for by CADCA and signed into law by President Clinton, this groundbreaking legislation redirected federal resources to community-based coalitions focused on reducing youth substance use. By empowering local leaders to develop tailored prevention strategies, the DFC Act has proven that the most effective solutions come from the communities themselves. Nearly 30 years later, the power of prevention continues to grow, thanks to coalitions nationwide dedicated to building healthier, safer communities.

关于我们
When it comes to preventing drug and alcohol abuse, there is no one-fits-all approach. It takes local, targeted solutions to address a community’s problems. That’s why, since 1992 CADCA (Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America) has been training local grassroots groups, known as community anti-drug coalitions, in effective community problem-solving strategies, teaching them how to assess their local substance abuse-related problems and develop a comprehensive plan to address them. Today, CADCA is the leading drug abuse prevention organization, representing the interests of more than 5,000 community coalitions globally. In addition to providing training and technical assistance, CADCA advocates for community coalitions in Congress. CADCA also educates the public about the latest trends in substance abuse, builds community coalitions from the ground up and develops helpful tools and resources that empower communities to solve their drug and alcohol-related problems. It is this winning combination of CADCA’s efforts at the national level and the grassroots efforts of CADCA’s members at the local level that is changing the scope of substance abuse, one community at a time, and creating safe, healthy and drug-free communities.
