"Children look to their parents for guidance with the difficulties they encounter in their day-to-day lives," said Director Jim McDonough of the Florida Office of Drug Control. "The Keys to be Drug-Free program gives us the ability to unlock our children's potential and widen the doorways to a successful and drug-free future.
