Substance Misuse : What We Do : South Heartland District Health Department

Substance Misuse

Substance Misuse is harmful and costly to individuals, relationships and communities, but it can be prevented and treated. In Adams, Clay, Nuckolls and Webster Counties, residents are concerned about the health impacts, community burden and dangers associated with substance misuse and abuse. See the graphic below to learn about SH's 6 year goals.

Medications address health concerns in many positive ways, but there is also a risk of misuse or abuse. Individuals who take medication or give it to their children need to know how to give the medication, how to store the medication and how to dispose of the medication. SHDHD is partnering with ASAAP, DEA, and Nebraska Pharmacy Association to sponsor drug takeback programs in the month of April. The easiest way to rid your medicine cabinet of unwanted and expired medication is to take them to a participating pharmacy, as listed below:

Vaccination Program

The Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program helps immunize children whose parents or guardians cannot afford it. This helps ensure that all children have a better chance of receiving recommended immunizations on time. Vaccines available through the VFC Program are those recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). These vaccines protect babies, young children, and teens from 16 diseases.
