Drugs are also a problem in the area, as many people have died of drug-related causes, most notably of heroin overdoses. However, a charity formed in 1991 called ""GEAAP"" (Greater Easterhouse Alcohol Awareness Programme) has tried to improve the alcohol problems in the area. Their main aims are to get any child victim of alcohol abuse to speak out, which they have done by collaborating with local schools, such as Bannerman High School; another important part of the charity is to help alcoholics overcome their addiction.
