Do you have a teen
or pre-teen loved one that suffers from drug and/or alcohol abuse?
"Underage drinking presents an enormous public health issue. Alcohol
is the drug of choice among children and adolescents. Annually, about 5,000
youth under age 21 die from motor vehicle crashes, other unintentional injuries,
and homicides and suicides that involve underage drinking."
"In 2006, 1.4 million youth ages 12 to 17 needed treatment for an alcohol
problem. Of this group, only 101,000 of them received any treatment at a
specialty facility."

SOUTH CAROLINA OFFICERS TRAIN TO BUST TEEN
DRINKING PARTIES
South
Carolina Drug and Alcohol Abuse Facts
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Press Release)
April, 2011 -- Officers from several area law enforcement agencies
are getting ready for 2011 "Out of their Hands Campaign."
It will be no April Fools Days on April 1 as officers in South
Carolina kick-off the campaign of enforcement and education
blitz coordinated by The Department of Alcohol and Other Drug
Abuse Services (DAODAS). The campaign is designed to raise awareness
of the dangers of underage alcohol use.
South Carolina officers have been trained on how to effectively
break-up parties where underage drinking is involved. During
a full day of classes, the officers got review lessons on South
Carolina law as it relates to alcohol related offenses and juveniles
as well as a crash course on the alcoholic beverages are popular
among the underage drinking population today.
Officers were introduced to a host of other issues during the
mock party exercise from language barriers and “escapees”,
to “fire crews” responding to the party location
after someone pulled the “fire alarm.”
Through the statewide “Out of their Hands” campaign,
South Carolina's Alcohol Enforcement Teams help direct activities
aimed at limiting access to alcohol by young people under the
age of 21. The campaign emphasizes that it is against the law
for anyone under 21 to purchase, possess, or consume alcoholic
beverages and sends the message that underage drinking can be
dangerous.
Cornerstone Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission of Greenwood representative
says:“Ultimately we hope to reduce fatalities among youth
in regards to risky decisions and alcohol.”
Besides fatalities related to alcohol use, there is also a concern
of young adults becoming addicted to alcohol. Most young adults
drink because they learn to associate “drinking”
with adult behaviors. One drink turns into more drinks. Alcohol
use many times become alcohol abuse or addiction, most young
adults are unsure as to how to approach the issue. Also most
young adults are not well informed about the potential brain
damage, as a result of alcohol use, abuse, and alcohol addiction.
If you are a friend or family member of a young adult struggling
with alcohol abuse, call now for help.
