Recovery is the solution... Whats your problem...?
“Prescription for Success: Statewide Strategies to Prevent and Treat the Prescription Drug Abuse Epidemic in Tennessee” is a strategic plan developed by the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services in collaboration with sister agencies impacted by the prescription drug epidemic. The Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services would like to acknowledge the contributions of the following partners: Departments of Health, Children’s Services, Safety and Homeland Security, and Correction, Bureau of TennCare, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and the Tennessee Branch of the United States Drug Enforcement Agency. Special thanks are extended to the commissioners of each of the partner agencies as well as those people who were interviewed and provided expertise and resources.
“Prescription for Success” is comprehensive and multi-year in scope and nature. However, this plan does not obligate the Administration or the General Assembly to any additional funding requests to fulfill this plan’s purpose. Funding requests related to the initiatives in this document will be determined through the normal General Assembly budgeting process.
