Meth 360
In 2006, Washington was selected by the Partnership for a Drug Free America to participate in the original four state Meth 360 pilot program. Utilizing the Police Executive Research Forum, the Partnership conducted public opinion research in the Central Puget Sound Are to determine which messages would be the most effective in educating adults about the dangers of methamphetamine. Last year, Meth 360 was expanded statewide, with local law enforcement officers teaming up with substance abuse treatment and prevention professionals to co-deliver presentations to schools, parent groups, and business and civic organizations in nearly every county. Now, the Meth 360 training curriculum is available online.
Meth Watch
The Washington Meth Watch Program is a collaborative initiative to curtail drug lab activity by making the theft or purchase of precursor products more difficult. The group consists of Grocery Markets, Drug Stores, Convenience Stores, Auto Parts Stores, Pet/Farming Supply Stores, Banks, Credit Unions, Security Firms, Property Managers, and Storage Facilities linked together to prevent theft, fraud, and meth abuse in the community.
Montana Meth Project
The Montana Meth Project is a large-scale prevention program aimed at significantly reducing first-time meth use through public service messaging, public policy, and community outreach. The integrated program consists of an ongoing, research-based marketing campaign—supported by community outreach and public policy initiatives—that realistically and graphically communicate the risks of methamphetamine to the youth of Montana.
Washington Alliance for Drug Endangered Children
Washington State Drug Endangered Children (DEC) programs are a coordinated and collaborative approach to assist communities in dealing with the impact of the abuse of our state’s children. Many of these children are living in filthy conditions, some are exposed to toxic chemicals, and large numbers of them are neglected and abused.
Methpedia.org
Methpedia.org is the most comprehensive online database of authoritative information and up-to-date resources concerning methamphetamine. The site is specifically designed for parents and policymakers, students and teachers, law enforcement officials and community leaders, as well as retailers, businessmen and women.
Community Action Team
The Community Action Team (CAT) is a coalition of concerned citizens who have taken on the responsibility of addressing byproducts of the methamphetamine trade in our communities. Such byproducts include crime, environmental damage, and neighborhood disturbance. CAT's goal is to educate others about drug-affected neighborhoods and facilitate prevention, enforcement, rehabilitation and restitution in order to heal afflicted neighborhoods and individuals. CAT recently launched a video to discourage meth use among adolescent males. "Crystal" is Jason's story--a young man who found Crystal (meth) when he had so much to lose. The goal of this video is to improve the decision-making process in adolescent males who may be tempted with this decision now or in the future.
