Branch County Substance Abuse Task Force

The Branch County Substance Abuse Task Force began in 2004 with a grant from the federal government.   The region was designated by the federal government as an area of high need for community mobilization and education regarding the devastating effects of meth on the community.  Many community members stepped forward to advance the cause and lead the way to the elimination of meth production, sale and use within the county.

Today the task force has members from; the Prosecuting Attorney’s office, Substance Treatment and Referral Service, all county law enforcement agencies, the Community Health Center, the Branch Intermediate School District, County Commissioners, the Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency, the Department of Human Services, the Chamber of Commerce, Pines, the Coldwater Daily Reporter, realtors, retailers, the Court and other county offices, plus many interested community members.

The task force continues to provide accurate, up-to-date education services to Branch County to help ensure “Branch County is a Meth Watch County”.  This Web site is dedicated to providing some of those educational services.  We hope you find the information contained on this site educational and informative.
