The Coalition for a Better Wallingford is a grassroots organization established in 2012 in response to the drug and alcohol addiction/abuse among teens and young adults in the community. From 2010 to 2013 there were 53 documented drug abuse deaths and hundreds of overdoses in Wallingford. The statistics are unfortunately common and very familiar in all communities through Connecticut and the United States.
Our main goal is to bring awareness that Substance and Alcohol addiction/abuse is happening in our community. The best way to help parents, young adults and kids is to education them on the harms of these substances and alcohol to prevent more overdoses and deaths.
We want to engage Wallingford’s community resources to produce healthy, caring and responsible citizens by raising awareness and reducing substance abuse among our youth.

No matter who you are you can do your part to help end opioid abuse.

Be sure to talk with your medial provider about the best treatment for you and your loved ones. The medical community is moving toward reducing opioid prescriptions, to reduce the risk of misuse, abuse and addiction for the patient and others who may be vulnerable.

As many as 25% of patients receiving opioid prescriptions in primary care settings struggle with opioid use disorder.
