Daines Wants Solutions from HHS Secretary on Meth and Abuse
At the Senate Finance Committee hearing in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, Montana Senator Steve Daines challenged Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar to help combat the methamphetamine crisis in Montana and across the country.
“In Montana, we are facing a meth crisis,” began Daines. “In fact, it’s a Mexican meth crisis that is devastating our families and our communities. Unfortunately, it’s our children who will up entering the child welfare system, and they’re among the hardest hit. Statewide, roughly one third of our children in foster care are there because of meth use by their parents, and that’s why I sponsored the Child Protection and Family Support Act.”
