Prevention

Lifeways has a Prevention Specialist who will come to your school or organization and present a program adapted to the audience.

Prevention Services are a proactive approach to substance abuse in our community. We pay extra attention to the younger population, because that will have the greatest impact on the largest number of people.

Children and teens face incredible obstacles to resisting substances. Movies, television, magazines, music, friends, and even some adults promote smoking, alcohol and drug use.

Treatment is late in the game -- our best treatment is prevention. There are many articles and links on this site, and contacting us will provide answers to your questions. Feel free to
