Drug Free Coalitions

Prevention of Alcohol, Nicotine, and Other Drug Use

Picture children safely attending school in a true drug free environment. Picture new community parks that provide families opportunities for recreation. Picture local resources devoted to enhancing the quality of life and not combating illegal drug use. What if YOUR community were drug free? Join us in achieving this goal, and we can picture it together.

We value safety in our communities. We value healthy living and drug free lifestyles. A wealth of resources is devoted toward combating the social and economic problems associated with illegal drug use and abuse. Our focus is on the prevention of alcohol and drug use. The success of these prevention efforts will add to our quality of life. We value a drug free community because we believe that we are worth it!

Drug Free Communities

Who Are We?

The Armstrong Drug Free Coalition (DFC), Indiana Drug Free Coalition (DFC), and Clarion Drug Free Coalition are leading organizations bringing together all the community sectors to create a safe, healthy and drug free environment in your counties for your youth and families. A project of the Armstrong–Indiana–Clarion Drug & Alcohol Commission, the coalitions are an important part of making the picture of a drug free community come to life.

Major partners working on this initiative include:

The DFCC is led by a cross–section of community stakeholders. At the table, you will find individuals representing education, healthcare, drug and alcohol prevention, human services, law enforcement, government, parents and concerned citizens.  To become a member of any county’s drug free coalition, please contact prevention@aicdac.org.
