PREVENTION STRATEGIES

PREVENTION STRATEGIES

PREVENTION

 Prevention programs play a crucial role in promoting mental health and addressing substance use disorders (SUDs).  


Prevention and early intervention strategies can reduce the impact of substance use and mental disorders in America’s communities.

Prevention activities work to educate and support individuals and communities to prevent the use and misuse of drugs and the development of substance use disorders. Substance use and mental disorders can make daily activities difficult and impair a person’s ability to work, interact with family, and fulfill other major life functions. Mental and substance use disorders are among the top conditions that cause disability in the United States. Preventing mental and/or substance use disorders or co-occurring disorders and related problems is critical to behavioral and physical health.

Prevention Tips

  •  Strengthening Close Family Ties:  Research indicates that people who share a close relationship with their families are less likely to become drug addicts.  
  • Teaching Coping Mechanisms: To prevent abusing drugs for this reason, it is important to learn healthy coping mechanisms. Everyone feels sad, lonely, isolated, ashamed, embarrassed, unworthy, and other negative emotions at various points in his or her life. There is nothing wrong with feeling these emotions. The best way to deal with these emotions is to learn how to properly process them.
  •   Education is one of the most important Ways To Prevent Drug Use:  Knowing about the risks, health and legal consequences, and other information about substance use will provide many people with a stronger reason for avoiding drugs. 
  • Instruction on how to Live A Healthy Well-Balanced Life

                   Eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly is another way of                                               

                  preventing drug and alcohol addiction. Being healthy and active      

                  makes it easier for people to deal with life stresses. 

  •  Meditation and Yoga Activities

                   Mindfulness  activities such as yoga & mediation have been shown to 

                   help manage negative emotions, reduce anxiety and stress, and 

                   improve a person's overall health and well-being.

  • Promoting Self-Care and Self Worth
