The Akron Children’s Addiction Services Program focuses on education, prevention, screening, care coordination, community outreach and referral to community resources. Funded entirely by philanthropic support, Akron Children’s Hospital is in a unique position to work with youth of all ages. Our primary care and school health programs offer us unique access and opportunities to educate children about the risks associated with drug dependence and substance abuse. At the same time, we recognize that education of parents to protect children from prescriptions in the home is equally important. As healthcare providers, we also have the responsibility to have guidelines in place to prevent overprescribing as well as policies to protect and help our own employees.
