Chasing the Dragon

​

In an effort to combat the growing epidemic of prescription drug and heroin abuse, the FBI and DEA have released "Chasing the Dragon: The Life of an Opiate Addict," a documentary aimed at educating students and young adults about the dangers of addiction.

                                  Stop It Now


​Stop It Now aims to PREVENT Child Sexual Abuse by showing adults how to teach their children

about healthy boundaries, as well as educating adults about warning signs, safeguards, and good communication. 

The following video clips and website links are provided by The Ludlow CARES Coalition as educational information.  If you or a loved one suffers from a substance use disorder or other addictions we urge you to seek help.  

We have provided contact information for many local agencies.  

Please refer to our "Resources" page.
