Methamphetamine use in rural communities is at epidemic levels and constitutes a public health crisis in many parts our nation. This synthetically-derived drug is commonly manufactured in illicit laboratories in homes and has harmful consequences for both people and the environment. Three RWJ nurse Fellows collaborated on community health efforts to heighten Montana citizens' awareness of the methamphetamine problem and to leverage additional resources for the fight against drugs. The Fellows efforts, combined with the ongoing efforts of other Montana politicians and leaders, have recently led to a significant infusion of federal drug enforcement and treatment funds into the state. |
