The Drug Free Communities Program is nationally recognized for its success in achieving reduced drug use and misuse in communities throughout the country to levels below the national average. CVARR is a recipient of the highly competitive DFC Grant, and as such is entrusted with addressing emerging substance use trends in our youth, such as alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, prescription and synthetic drugs. The DFC Support Program has two goals: Establish and strengthen collaboration among communities, public and private non-profit agencies; as well as federal, state, local, and tribal governments to support the efforts of community coalitions working to prevent and reduce substance use among youth.
