Substance Abuse Prevention
Nevada County’s civil grand jury is the only one in the nation that has highlighted a methamphetamine problem in its community. The grand jury found methamphetamine is costing Nevada County millions in tax dollars, and is the cause of many child-abuse and domestic-violence cases. In addition, the Jury concluded that education and community involvement are the only ways to combat this problem.
