Prevention Plan
Today, research shows that many people are today suffering from mental disorders as a result of alcohol and drugs addiction. This has caused parents, the elementary schools, communities as well as, mental health professionals to express their concern in regards to drug addiction in order to develop a prevention plan that will help teens/high school student before they become addicts. Drug addiction in families contributes to an extensive list of serious mental illness; as a result developing an invention plan is a good idea because it will minimize the chances of occurrence. The primary goals of the prevention plan include;
To reduce the use, the types of substances used as well as limiting the number of users
To ensure that the use of drugs and alcohols in teens/students are delayed. Delaying the use of drugs and alcohol reduces harm during a child's development as well as reducing the risks for developing addiction and abusive patterns of use.

Studies shows that most teens/high school student who begin drinking at an early age of 14 are significantly more likely to experience alcohol dependence in their lives compared to those who begin drinking after 20 years of age. Conversely, students who drink alcohol are most likely to experience negative consequences such as memory problems, impaired school performances and many others. Therefore, delaying the age of first use of drugs and alcohol is a significant goal of prevention. However, protective factors such as strong family bonds as well as, proactive parenting can also help delay teens' experimentation with alcohol and drugs and thus may help reduce long-term problems.
