Substance abuse prevention
Our comprehensive substance abuse initiatives in this program started in 1996. Outcomes from this program have been astounding and celebratory. For example, 30-day tobacco use among eighth-graders declined from 26.2% in 1995 to 9% in 2009. This has happened with expert advice, hard work, grant support and community participation in a comprehensive approach.
See our Substance Abuse Treatment Guide (PDF) for help and treatment services for people whose alcohol and other drug use is negatively affecting their lives.
