Drugs in Crittenden County

Most of us know someone with a drug or alcohol abuse problem. The numbers in Crittenden Co. show just how widespread the problem is here.
Adults - each year approx. 95% of court cases in Crittenden Co. involve drugs or alcohol.
Children - Over the last 6 years the Coalition has surveyed the high school and middle school with a KIP survey three times, which queries the students on drug and alcohol use. In almost every category, substance abuse by Crittenden Co. students is higher than the numbers for the region, state and nation.
