SAMHSA requires that grantees spend no less than 20% of their SABG allocation on primary substance abuse prevention strategies. These strategies are aimed at people who have not identified a need for treatment. State mental health authorities and individual state agencies can submit requests through the electronic application system, WebBGA.

Welcome to the “unofficial website” of the Office of Substance Abuse Prevention. The Office of Substance Abuse Prevention (OSAP) is part of the Behavioral Health Services Division of the New Mexico Department of Human Services. This site provides information on OSAP programs related to the past, present, and future by including previous documents, publishing necessary documents (including evaluation), and providing resources for community-level substance abuse prevention efforts in New Mexico.
Adolescents participating in the BSFT showed significantly greater reductions in marijuana use compared to adolescents in the comparison group in one study, and lower overall substance use in another study. Competence improvement programs recognize that social learning processes are important in the development of drug use among adolescents. In a third study, adolescent girls who participated in the BSFT showed a significantly greater reduction in substance use after the test and after one year of follow-up than adolescent girls in the comparison group. In contemporary American society, it has become commonplace among young people to participate in some level of experimentation with substances.
In addition, there is increasing evidence showing that the onset of substance use early in life contributes to higher levels of use and abuse later in life. FNL programs create partnerships for positive and healthy youth development, which engage young people as active leaders and resources in their communities, while developing skills in a fun and safe environment. The OSAP provides the infrastructure and other necessary support to local stakeholders to select and implement policies, programs, and practices that have proven effective in research environments and communities. The ongoing focus of SEOW is the development and informed use of evaluation data and indicators for use in community planning, prioritization, and evaluation; and the support of evidence-based strategies, policies, and practices in all community prevention activities.
Of course, in addition to reducing access, each of these stakeholders can play a key role in raising awareness of the dangers of drug abuse. Data on the abuse rates of Vicodin, OxyContin, and Percocet began to be collected in 2002 in the MTF study. The NPW culminates in May, recognizing the important work that has been done in communities throughout the year to inspire action and prevent substance use and mental disorders. Students who don't participate in school fail to develop or maintain relationships with their teachers, and those who fail academically are more likely to use substances.
Young people who are actively involved in community institutions, such as schools and churches, are less likely to use substances. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is the primary funder of substance abuse prevention services in Georgia. In addition to training sessions for parents and young people, the CLFC program aims to encourage greater use of community services to resolve family problems and address behavior problems among young people. They collaborate with law enforcement agencies to develop and use tools to reduce and prevent substance abuse in Georgia.
