Description

The misuse of prescription drugs is a problem that occurs in every part of society. No one is immune to it. Although studies have shown that the misuse of prescription drugs is no greater for aboriginal people than for anyone else, in some aboriginal communities, this problem has surfaced. In the community of Wagmatcook, Nova Scotia prescription drugs were finding their way to youth on the street.

This moving video tells the story of on community's efforts to control this prescription drug misuse. MicMac RCMP officer Stephen Gloade recognized the need for more cooperation between health and legal professionals. The video shows how the collaboration between doctors, pharmacists, drug and alcohol counselor, community health nurses and local law enforcement can help curb the problem of prescriptiondrug misuse. Individuals in the program lay out a model for community cooperation including doctors prescribing fewer pills, improved communication between patients, doctors, pharmacists and law enforcement.
