Prevention

Prevention Services develops and maintains a comprehensive, statewide prevention system that averts and reduces alcohol and other drug-related problems, thereby improving the health, safety, and economic conditions of California residents by:

  • Modifying social norms and conditions to counter the adverse consequences resulting from alcohol, tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) availability, manufacturing, distribution, promotion, sale, and use; and
  • Effectively addressing at-risk and underserved populations and their environments.

For all questions and comments regarding prevention, please contact us at 1-916-324-4398 or email us at askadp@adp.ca.gov.
