One mother who drove 45 miles to attend the rally had been personally affected by heroin addiction. Her daughter got hooked on the drug and passed away, so she understands first-hand how devastating the drug can be to a person’s life.
Neal is a member of an organization named The Addict’s Mom. She said,
The rally also promoted the upcoming community education forum sponsored by the Livingston County Community Alliance (LCCA). It’s set for 6 p.m. Oct. 29 at the Livingston Educational Service Agency, 1425 W. Grand River Ave. in Howell. LCCA is better known for its prescription collection project which has collected 3,850 pounds of unused prescription drugs. The project aims to take unused prescriptions off people’s hands before they can become gateways to harsher drugs.
The staff at Narconon would like to commend the LCCA for their much-needed work and efforts. In addition, we offer free drug educational materials on the signs of drug abuse for all drugs.
