The purpose of the Arizona Methamphetamine Initiative is to support communities in forming broad based coalitions that combine efforts from law enforcement, prevention, treatment, education, business and the media as well as interested citizens through implementing the use of environmental prevention strategies.

Through the implementation of environmental prevention strategies, coalitions will reduce the impacts and consequences of methamphetamine use, production and distribution in local communities and facilitate community ownership and collaboration as a means of addressing substance abuse issues.

Phase one and two funding was used to support the development of coalitions (existing or new), to organize their coalition and to develop a community needs assessment, and to support implementation of community based environmental prevention strategies.

Through continued funding from the Parents Commission on Drug Education and Prevention, phase three coalitions will continue to support community based environmental prevention strategies.
