PRIME for Life Under 21
This
8-hour course is offered for juveniles who
violate drinking laws, school policy, drinking and driving laws, or simply make
high-risk choices. It is designed
to reduce risk for problems and focus on 3 measurable behavioral prevention
goals: increase abstinence for a
lifetime; delay the age of first use of alcohol; and reduce high-risk choices.
The intervention goals include: facilitate
self assessment of drinking and drug choices and progression; reduce high-risk
use among people who do not already have alcoholism or other drug addiction;
facilitate entry into evaluation to determine whether alcoholism or other drug
addictions are present; facilitate entry into some form of treatment or a
self-help group for those who have already developed alcoholism or other drug
addiction; and support abstinence for all people with alcoholism and other drug
addiction. For more information, contact the PRIME for Life Website www.askpri.org.
