What Is It?
Lock Box and Drop Box Campaign was identified by the Community Wellness Action Team and the Coalition for a Safe and Drug Free Swain County as an action, that when combined with other actions in our community, that has a reasonable chance of making a difference in substance misuse in our community. This is an ongoing program in our community.
This program is ongoing as it is currently effective in Swain County and needs to be expanded to reach more of the population.
The priority population/customers for this Lock Box and Drop Box Campaign are organizations that are willing to establish a Drop Box and community members interested in a Lock Box, and the Lock Box and Drop Box Campaign aims to make a difference at the community level. Implementation will take place in the community.
Misuse often impacts rates of violence, injuries and certain diseases so people who are using substances are at a disadvantage when it comes to overall health.
