Alcohol and Drug Prevention
A Stronger Approach to Alcohol and Drug Prevention
At ADAPT Programs, Alcohol and Drug Prevention is about more than awareness. We provide tools that help people make better choices—through self-esteem support, peer pressure education, and decision-making skills. We serve both youth and adults across Southeast Texas through structured programs that are practical, relatable, and grounded in everyday life.Targeted Prevention That Fits Real Needs
Our prevention work runs through four main programs, each created for specific needs. When a young person needs basic guidance or faces serious challenges, our team provides consistent, age-appropriate support.
Youth Prevention Universal (YPU)
At ADAPT Programs, we focus on early prevention by giving young people the tools they need to make healthy, informed choices. We teach Life Skills Training (LST) to students from grades 3 through 12, helping them develop decision-making skills, resist peer pressure, and cultivate genuine confidence. All lessons involve hands-on activities based on situations kids actually face.
Where it’s offered: Liberty, Walker, and Montgomery Counties

Key Skills Taught:

Youth Prevention Selective (YPS)

Through our CBSG (Curriculum-Based Support Group) sessions, we build emotional awareness and teach practical ways to handle tough situations without turning to drugs or alcohol.

It combines CBSG with the Strengthening Families Program (SFP) to involve both the youth and their families.

Class Size: CBSG: 5–20 students, SFP: 6–10 families per two specialists
What It Covers:

- Family-based routines and structure
- Better communication and reduced conflict at home
Outcomes:

Community Coalition Partnership (CCP)
At ADAPT Programs, we believe prevention begins with strong communities and shared responsibility. Rather than focusing on individuals, the CCP builds safer communities through public policy, outreach, and local collaboration. It brings together schools, law enforcement, nonprofits, and residents to shape environments that reduce access to harmful substances.
Where it’s offered: Liberty, Walker, and Montgomery Counties
Key Actions:
- Community-wide education
