Drug abuse threatens thousands of our families throughout Mobile robbing far too many of their health and well-being. We are not immune to the substance abuse problems that plague the rest of the country. Mobile ranks in the top 10 worst counties in Alabama for Drugs and Alcohol arrests. These arrests included people of all ages, races, and professions. Each year, thousands of Mobile kids are introduced to alcohol and other drugs before their 12 th birthday.
Substance abuse occurs in all kinds of places, too.
Local playgrounds, middle-class suburbs, high schools, grade schools, job sites, movie theaters and malls are just a few places where anyone can use or sell drugs. Keep in mind, too, that each of us, whether we realize it or not, knows or interacts with someone who abuses alcohol or other drugs on a regular basis. This could be your neighbor, the school bus driver, the local banker, a physician, or a relative. The only way to combat a problem of this magnitude is to address it head-on. Mobile's Partnership is united to help reduce drug and alcohol abuse in Mobile through advertising, marketing communications and public relations.
