Coalition for a Drug-Free Greater Cincinnati

The Coalition for a Drug-Free Greater Cincinnati now called PreventionFIRST! (PF!) is anti-drug organization in Greater Cincinnati.

Rob Portman founded the Coalition for a Drug-Free Greater Cincinnati in 1996[1] before becoming a congressman.[2] The organization advances "a comprehensive effort to address youth substance abuse".[3]

PF! runs a number of programs, including the Ohio Rx Disposal initiative whereby Ohioans with limited or no access to prescription drug disposal sites can request a prescription drug disposal bag be mailed to them at no cost.[4] This scheme was funded from 2016 to 2021 through the Strategic Prevention Framework for Prescription Drugs, managed by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention,[5] part of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. A further five years of fu nding was agreed in 2021.
