HPDICE, Inc. [Hilton Parma Drug Intervention & Community Education] is a 501c3 approved community coalition founded in October, 2014. We are proud to be the 1st and ONLY Community Coalition on the west side of Monroe County, New York and a member of CADCA (Community Anti Drug Coalitions of America). We will work to collaborate with the community on prevention, education and recovery strategies. A primary objective will be to raise awareness about Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and the stigma that overshadows it. We also strive to leverage community strengths and partnerships to build upon synergies that will holistically address local prevention, treatment and recovery substance issues.
How do we do this?
