What is Prevention?
Prevention is a vital approach aimed at promoting healthy and informed choices to avoid the harmful consequences of substance abuse. We use a proactive and comprehensive strategy designed to reduce access and availability to substances. Prevention efforts include education, community outreach, addressing risk factors, and development of coping skills aimed at equipping individuals, families, and communities with the knowledge, skills, and support needed to make healthy choices and resist the pressures associated with substance use.
