Substance abuse program
Although the number of men abusing substance is always high, the number of women that abuse alcohol in society today have significantly increased. Some women have abandoned their homes, making substance use their core goal in life (Grisel, 2019). In a bid to combat this rising trend among women, I thought of coming up with a community program that will be concerned about substance use among women. The program will not only seek to educate women on alcohol use only but also on the use of other types of hard drugs. The program will inform women of substance use, assisting them to quit the abuse of drugs and offer business startup capital to those that have decided to quit alcohol. Both direct and indirect costs will be incurred when developing or running the programs. However, some of the expenses that will be incurred to run the program include administrative costs, which will take about 40 percent of the capital, advertising cost 20%, supplies 5 percent, transport 10 percent, and rent will take up to 10 percent. The remaining 10 percent is likely to be used in developing or getting those who are totally affected by the drug to a rehabilitation center.
Based on the statistics given by the census organization, women are many than men in society. Our community is made up of 2 million women (Sue, 2019). Of the two million women, about 30 percent of them are on abuse of substance, especially alcohol. Thus, about 3,000 volunteers will be needed to help in catering to these women (Sue, 2019). The volunteers will be responsible for holding meetings in the villages and gathering those women that are victims of substance abuse. The program is not only scheduled to benefit the 30 percent women but young children who have been abandoned by their mothers who abuse alcohol. 80 percent of people in the society are scheduled to benefit program
