Community Involvement
Together we can create change

The Long Beach Meth Taskforce urges community members and providers to attend its open planning meetings. 

Methamphetamine treatment is needed, and substance use treatment providers have a responsibility to get involved in facilitating change on the issues and problems  that are affecting their community and stakeholders.
 
We have an open invitation for all substance use and mental health treatment providers in the Greater Long Beach area to attend and participate in our upcoming planning meetings and functions.
