Testimonials

Sometimes the most valuable lessons for teens come from other teens. The Partnership for a Drug-Free America and CHPA developed DXMstories.com with this thought in mind.

The site, created in response to web sites that promote this form of substance abuse, features teens sharing their personal stories about the risks of cough medicine abuse.

Visit DXMstories.com with your own child and talk together about what you’ve seen and learned. 

CHPA has other materials for teens, as well. You can order the free The Real Truth newsletter supplement for information about drug abuse—including OTC and Rx medicine abuse—and how to stay drug-free. And subscribe to the StopMedicineAbuse free e-newsletter to keep up-to-date on the latest trends and information on this teen substance abuse behavior so you can talk with your teen.

The 2009 CADCA/CHPA Dose of Prevention Award was presented to the Save Our Kids Coalition, Bowling Green, Kentucky, for their outstanding work in raising awareness of teen cough medicine abuse in their own community. Watch the video about their program.
