Drug Free Manatee announces a new community-based initiative, in partnership with LECOM, called S.M.A.R.T. Options. This program is aimed towards aging adults in Manatee County to provide prevention information, safe disposal options and information on alternatives to opioid use for pain management. The first demonstration will be held Thursday, March 24th at 12:30 pm, at the Palmetto Library. We will also have a brief presentation from a tobacco cessation specialist from Gulfcoast South AHEC.
