Kalamazoo County Substance Abuse Task Force


We are a dedicated group of community members that develop strategies, programs, and practices to address alcohol and substance abuse issues in our community.  This effort involves reducing access to substances, preventing high-risk behaviors, promoting community awareness, connecting community resources, and providing education.  The efforts of the Task Force are funded by a Office of National Drug Control Policy Drug Free Communities Grant, a Strategic Prevention Framework/State Incentive Grant through the Michigan Office of Drug Control Policy and Kalamazoo Community Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services.
