From the challenges of keeping medications away from children and teens to alcohol misuse in teens and adults; to experimentation with substances and addictions, and accidental poisonings \u2013 substance misuse affects all of society.<\/p>\n<p>Experimentation with alcohol, marijuana and other drugs can lead to decisions that put lives at risk. While prescription drugs are intended to restore and maintain health, they can lead to addiction, crime, financial burdens and injury when not used as prescribed. Illegal drugs and related crimes are a source of fear and destruction in our communities. Each year, drinking and driving kills and injures people in our community. The economic impact of substance misuse contributes to preventable social costs. These include costs to the individual\u2019s health and wellbeing and costs to health, enforcement and justice systems.<\/p>\n<h3>However we are making a difference.<\/h3>\n<p>Pregnant moms are aware of the potential harmful effects of drugs on their unborn babies, therefore they avoid drugs. Parents keep medication out of reach of their children. Educators and parents implement programs to build resiliency in youth to help them make decisions to avoid the dangers of experimenting with drugs. Doctors and pharmacists remind their clients about the risks of misusing prescribed drugs. Friends stop friends from driving impaired.<\/p>\n<h3>And we know that we can all do more. We can:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Learn about drugs that are commonly misused.<\/li>\n<li>Talk to your family and neighbours about what we have learned.<\/li>\n<li>Dispose of any old or unused medications.<\/li>\n<li>Get involved. Our ideas can help find solutions to prevent the initiation of and the harms associated with drug use.<\/li>\n<li>Let people know we care if we are concerned about their use of substances.<\/li>\n<li>Seek professional help for ourselves or someone we love.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Together, across all sectors and with an engaged community, we can make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>This Community Drug Strategy report has been created through extensive consultation and provides guidance for our next steps. It is our collective CALL TO ACTION.<\/p>\n<h2>Vision<\/h2>\n<p>A community working together to improve\u00a0the health, safety, and well-being of all\u00a0individuals, families, neighbourhoods, and\u00a0communities in the city of Greater Sudbury\u00a0by reducing the incidence of drug use and\u00a0creating a society increasingly free of the\u00a0range of harms associated with substance\u00a0misuse.<\/p>\n<h2>Goals<\/h2>\n<p>To fulfill this vision we will actively work to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Improve community health and address\u00a0drug-related issues by increasing public\u00a0awareness of drug use and misuse as a\u00a0health issue, by providing a range of services\u00a0including treatment and harm reduction and\u00a0encouraging a developmental asset building\u00a0approach to prevention and community\u00a0development.<\/li>\n<li>Increase community safety across the city of Greater Sudbury by implementing evidence informed, drug-related crime prevention initiatives.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage partnerships among municipal\u00a0government, academia, legal, health\u00a0and human services sectors, the private\u00a0sector, and the community to share the\u00a0responsibility for the development and\u00a0implementation of substance-related\u00a0strategies and responses.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure ongoing monitoring and evaluation of\u00a0this strategy.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage all levels of government to take\u00a0action and responsibility for their elements\u00a0of the framework within their respective\u00a0jurisdiction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Five (5) Foundations<\/h2>\n<p>Every building needs a solid foundation. Our\u00a0drug strategy will be built on five foundations\u00a0that will be integrated into the plan forming\u00a0both the support and the structure of our\u00a0Community Drug Strategy.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Health Promotion and Prevention\u00a0of Drug Misuse<\/h3>\n<p>Involves providing coordinated, evidence informed\u00a0education, awareness-raising activities,\u00a0developmental asset building approaches to\u00a0improve youth resiliency and strengthening local\u00a0policies related to the prevention of drug misuse\u00a0and its impacts.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Treatment<\/h3>\n<p>Provides a continuum of necessary interventions\u00a0and supports to help people regain their health\u00a0through harm reduction and possible abstinence\u00a0from drug use.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Harm Reduction<\/h3>\n<p>Provides strategies to reduce drug-related harm\u00a0without requiring the cessation of drug use.\u00a0Interventions may be targeted at the individual,\u00a0family, community, or society.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Enforcement and Justice<\/h3>\n<p>Work together to strengthen community safety\u00a0by responding to crimes and community disorder\u00a0issues associated with legal and illegal drugs.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Sustaining Relationships<\/h3>\n<p>Encourage the development of partnerships\u00a0between the community, sector organizations,\u00a0and all levels of government.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"380\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-phsd.madhatter.co\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/Drug_Use_Facts_infrographic_new-1-380x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-114763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev-phsd.madhatter.co\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/Drug_Use_Facts_infrographic_new-1-380x1024.jpg 380w, https:\/\/dev-phsd.madhatter.co\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/Drug_Use_Facts_infrographic_new-1-111x300.jpg 111w, https:\/\/dev-phsd.madhatter.co\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/Drug_Use_Facts_infrographic_new-1-768x2071.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dev-phsd.madhatter.co\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/Drug_Use_Facts_infrographic_new-1-570x1536.jpg 570w, https:\/\/dev-phsd.madhatter.co\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/Drug_Use_Facts_infrographic_new-1-759x2048.jpg 759w, https:\/\/dev-phsd.madhatter.co\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/Drug_Use_Facts_infrographic_new-1-scaled.jpg 949w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drug Use Facts in the City of Greater Sudbury (information from infographic above)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In 2013, 400 EMS calls were made for drug overdoses while 1020 calls were made for alcohol intoxication\u00b9.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>14% of residents* reported using some kind of illicit drug in the last 12 months\u00b2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>41% of residents* admit to having used illicit drugs at some point in their lifetime\u00b2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>52% of residents* have tried marijuana at least once in their lifetime\u00b2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>549 drug offences were laid in 2013\u00b3.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;Ten (10) Guiding&nbsp;Principles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following principles reflect the key values&nbsp;and beliefs that shape and direct the actions&nbsp;of the Community Drug Strategy for the city of&nbsp;Greater Sudbury:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
