Randolph Community College is planning its second half-day Substance
Abuse Forum in April that is focused on helping the families of those
with substance abuse problems. “Substance Abuse: A Family Issue” will be
held from 8:30 a.m.-1 p.m. on Saturday, April 13, in the Corporate

on the Asheboro Campus.
Dr. Charles Betts of
Asheboro will be the keynote speaker on the subject “The Science of
Addiction.” Additional speakers and topics will be announced.
Attendees will find out more about the effects of substance abuse on
the family and how it affects the abuser, physically and mentally. The
