Prime for Life:
We will explore risk and what we can do to reduce our risk so we can protect the things we value most in life. We each decide what we value most; Prime For Life gives us a way to reduce risk for future problems with alcohol and drugs. The program provides research-based information about alcohol and drug risks. We each decide what to do with the information and how much risk we are willing to take.
Prime Solutions:
PRIME Solutions has two major purposes. The first purpose is to help people discover what changes they are willing to make in their alcohol and drug choices. The second purpose is to help develop the tools to succeed.
