Learn to Cope is a support group for parents and family members dealing with a loved one addicted to heroin, Oxycontin and other drugs. Young people do not realize they will become addicted even by just experimenting and it normally begins with crushed up Oxycontin and a bad choice, even if they have been warned all their lives by their parents about drug use. It doesn't matter where you live, how you have parented, what your income is.......it knows no boundaries and it's out there. Young people and communities need to be educated on prescription drug use as well as the gateway drugs that can lead them to it. Countless lives have been lost. Learn to Cope is a support group but also plans and facilitates local forums with real world experience to help educate the public on this issue. One life lost is too many.
