Agencies Fight Drug Misuse, Abuse

Drug Misuse

Although parents almost never want to admit that their children might be abusing drugs, often the signs of drug abuse were there before the parents knew what they were seeing. This was the message of one of three seminars that focused on the drug abuse epidemic in St. Mary’s County, hosted by the sheriff’s office, public schools; and agencies such as Walden Behavioral Health.
