CARE believes that to prevent the abuse of substances, comprehensive education is necessary for individuals at risk, as well as the members of the general public.

CARE is committed to providing prevention programs to the community to generate a better understanding of the nature and effects of chemical abuse and reduce the stigma associated with addiction.

Some of the services provided by CARE include:
