Core offering

Sullivan County Anti-Drug Coalition (SCAD) is a community coalition that delivers substance use prevention education, evidence-based curricula in schools, peer recovery support, intervention services, and harm reduction programming across Sullivan County, Tennessee. Its offering centers on free community education on underage drinking, nicotine/vaping, marijuana, prescription drug misuse, stimulant misuse, and fentanyl, complemented by medication take-back drop boxes, Naloxone distribution and training, conversation-starter resources for parents, and referrals via the RED-LINE hotline.

Product overview

Sullivan County Anti-Drug Coalition (SCAD) offers a coordinated suite of community-based prevention, intervention, and harm reduction services rather than a unified technology product. The core offerings include substance abuse prevention education programs covering alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, prescription drugs, stimulants, and fentanyl; community presentation services; a comprehensive Resource Guide; medication take-back programs with permanent drop box locations; overdose prevention through Naloxone distribution; intervention services with certified peer recovery specialists; and membership opportunities for community involvement. These programs work together to create community access to substance abuse prevention for youth and harm reduction support for families.
