Supporting Prevention Across New Jersey

WHAT IS PREVENTION?

Effective prevention involves addressing the root causes that drive early substance use and later addiction by reducing risk and bolstering protective factors through education, environmental change, and family support. 

​

This upstream, holistic approach creates better health across the lifespan, reduces stigma, increases access to services, and builds resilient, recovery-ready communities.
