The U.S. Attorneys Community has joined the Partnership at Drugfree.org to promote its multi-year campaign entitled the ‘Medicine Abuse Project’ which began on Sept. 23, 2012. The Medicine Abuse Project is a unifying campaign that brings together families, communities, industry, health care professionals, educators, law enforcement and government officials to curb teen medicine abuse, and ultimately save lives. By working together, The Medicine Abuse Project aims to prevent half a million teens from abusing medicine within five years.
