Methamphetamine

One of America's and Nebraska's greatest challenges is the drug epidemic, especially methamphetamine use. Nebraskans need to become more aware of the risk factors that might lead to abuse. Meth's impact on individuals, families, health, safety, environmental and rural economic development is a concern.

One of the most effective ways to prevent drug abuse is by focusing on youth. Research from the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse indicates a person who can make it to age 21 without ever using drugs is more likely to never use them.
