SAMHSA's Prevention Platform
SAMHSA's Prevention Platform is a systemic community-based approach, which aims to ensure that substance abuse prevention programs can and do produce results. This new approach to prevention helps move the country closer to the President's vision of a nation in which citizens use the powers of prevention to lead healthier, longer lives.
