We would like to share several links to the public to educate themselves about inhalant abuse and the dangers associated with it.

The National Institute of Drug Abuse maintains the website, which has sections devoted to educating parents, as well as children/teens.

Locally, people can contact Door County Human Services at 746-7155 to speak with someone about drug abuse and getting help in fighting this addiction.
