What is the project about?
The Haunted Crack House project is the dramatic representation of what can happen in the life of a substance abuser. It is a best practice prevention program, utilizing logic models for guidance. With a spooky, haunted house atmosphere as a backdrop, guests are taken through realistic scenes depicting the tragedy of a young teen named "Liz," who becomes entangled in the web of addiction.
In 1989, the drug problem in many parts of Maryland centered around crack cocaine--hence the chosen project title, "Haunted Crack House." While the drug problem has evolved over the years to include prescription drugs and now the most recent opiate crisis, the community and family impact remains as catastrophic as ever.
