DECEMBER IS NATIONAL DRUNK AND DRUGGED DRIVING PREVENTION MONTH Drugged driving is becoming a serious issue because drugs can have similar negative effects to alcohol such as impaired judgment, perception, and motor skills even when prescribed by a medical provider. Approximately 16% of motor vehicle crashes involve drugs (legal and illegal) besides alcohol. Not only does drug abuse and excessive alcohol use impact your readiness, it can harm the lives of your fellow Marines, friends, and family. CSACC is committed to providing you with the tools you need to fight these harmful behaviors or addictions. We have the educational materials and resources to help you understand the negative effects of excessive alcohol use and misuse or abuse of over-the-counter and prescription medications so that you can overcome alcohol and drug abuse and live a healthy life. If you or someone you love needs help with alcohol or drug addiction, contact CSACC for screening, assessment, and help. Thank YOU for NOT drunk or drugged driving.
