Learn More About
A support group of the Orange County Sheriff’s Advisory Council, Drug Use is Life Abuse was formed in response to the high rates of drug abuse in our county. The organization is working hard to bring leaders in business, government, education, religion, families, and law enforcement together to change the way society perceives drug use.
Our young people, who are our future, are in danger at the hands of drug abuse. There is a direct relationship between drug use and criminal behavior, as well as the dangers of addiction, injury, and death.
It’s time we work together to change the tolerant attitude toward drugs. It’s time we create a drug free society.
