Public forum tackles drug and alcohol issues in New Hampshire
More than 60 residents attended a Wentworth-Douglass Hospital forum hosted by the Governors Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention, Intervention, and Treatment and New Hampshire Drug Czars. The discussion covered commission accomplishments since 2002, needed resources, and a community vision. The Alcohol Fund, which funds prevention and treatment, has faced cuts and could be eliminated if reinstatement fails, risking programs like SENHS inpatient care and services for youth. speakers highlighted personal recovery stories and the cost of intervention versus incarceration. The forum noted the fund would have funded over five million dollars in 2004 and 2005, but only 640k and 1.39m were allocated, risking program survival without renewal.
