Winston-Salem, N.C. – The Partnership for a Drug-Free NC, Inc. is one of only four substance abuse organizations in the country to receive the Alliance Achievement Award from The Partnership at Drugfree.org, formerly known as The Partnership for a Drug-Free America.
This is the third consecutive year Drug-Free NC has won this national honor, in recognition of its excellence in prevention messaging and activities across North Carolina.
The purpose of these activities is to reduce the negative impact of substance abuse issues on families, individuals, and communities since 1 in 10 of North Carolinians are already addicted and 50 percent are affected by addiction.
Collaborations with colleges and universities, media outlets, sports teams, and law enforcement officials, and prevention and treatment experts have focused on initiatives ranging from drinking and driving education to prescription drug "take backs."
Steve Pasierb, C.E.O. of The Partnership at Drugfree.org, praised Drug-Free NC saying, "Today we are a true partnership dedicated to the indispensible mission of supporting healthy families. Thank you for all you do and congratulations on this well-deserved honor. [Drug-Free NC] is truly making a difference in people's lives."
The Partnership for a Drug-Free NC, Inc. is a nationally accredited non-profit, headquartered in Winston-Salem, and has provided effective treatment and prevention services for substance abuse and mental illness since 1974.
