Who We Are
Partnership for Drug-Free Communities is a community-based coalition addressing substance use in Madison, St. Clair and the surrounding Illinois counties. It brings together organizations and individuals to assess local drug trends, and create a comprehensive strategic plan to address local issues. All sectors of the community are welcome to participate in the coalition and its meetings. Partnership for Drug-Free Communities was formed in 2016 when the Drug-Free Coalitions of Madison County (est. 2006) and the Madison County Heroin Task Force merged. The partnership utilizes a Strategic Prevention Framework, see below for the needs assessment and logic model used.
