Our Prevention Program takes great strides to ensure the quality of our program and in meeting the needs of the individuals that we serve. We assist teens & families in making positive changes that they identify through the education & counseling they receive. We strive to bring families closer together, open up and improve communication within the teen’s social & family systems, as well as help to prevent the overall destructive nature and life deterioration that results from substance misuse.
