Welcome to the Meth Action Coalition
The Meth Action Coalition (MAC) is a grassroots organization in Central Oregon comprised of local citizens, business professionals and government agencies who have come together to fight the scourge of meth in our community. The Coalition grew out of a very successful Meth Summit, held at St. Charles Medical Center in November 2003, and was strengthened by subsequent summits in June 2005 and June 2007 (nearly 400 people attended each session).
Since the Coalition's inception, great strides have been made in the fight against meth. Through the efforts of law enforcement, treatment providers and prevention educators, meth use has declined in Deschutes County. The battle is not over, however. Meth is still in circulation and continues to destroy individual lives, families, and endanger the community. The Oregonian has reported that Oregon meth-related deaths soared 22% in 2010.

The Meth Action Coalition is helping decrease Meth, and other drug use, through prevention and awareness education in Deschutes County schools. Since 2008, we have given our Meth 101 presentation to many thousands of students.
We appreciate your generous contribution to help us continue our work in educating young people about this horrible drug that has literally ruined the lives of many.
