Do Your Part to protect your children.

Prescription drug abuse in Michigan is real. It's growing, and it's dangerous. But you can make a difference in preventing your child from abusing prescription drugs. Here are some guidelines to follow:

• Monitor your prescription drugs; lock them in a secure place and dispose of them properly.
• Never share prescription drugs with family members or others. Protect yourself and set a good example for your child.
• Talk to teens and young adults about the dangers of prescription and over-the-counter drugs. These are powerful drugs that, when abused, can be just as dangerous as street drugs.

Please check the additional resources offering help and information for parents.
