About Us
Methamphetamine use by young people in Montana is dramatically higher than the national
average, and the majority of all drug-related federal sentences in Montana are related
to methamphetamine, clearly indicating there is a Meth epidemic in Montana. These,
and a host of other facts, have compelled leading professionals and organizations
to form the Montana Meth Project, a community prevention effort aimed at the methamphetamine
problem in Montana.
What is the Montana Meth Project?
The Montana Meth Project's goal is to significantly reduce the prevalence of first-time
methamphetamine use in Montana. We are focused solely upon prevention. To achieve
this goal, we are active in three areas: 1) Public Service Messaging; 2) Public
Policy; and 3) Community Action.
The Montana Meth Project sustains a campaign of research-based paid public service
messaging—including advertising, public relations, and Web sites—to effect attitudinal
changes regarding methamphetamine use among Montana’s youth. For more information,
