Prime for Life: an Evidenced-based way to Motivate Drug and Alcohol Behavior Change

Prime For Life® is an evidence-based motivational prevention, intervention and pretreatment program specifically designed for people who might be making high-risk choices. This includes but is not limited to impaired driving offenders, college students, and young people charged with alcohol and/or drug offenses. It is designed to change drinking and drug use behaviors by changing beliefs, attitudes, risk perceptions, motivations, and the knowledge of how to reduce their risk of alcohol and drug related problems throughout their lives.

Prime For Life® includes both prevention and intervention content; it is also designed in a way that serves universal, selective, and indicated audiences with program delivery options for each.

Universal audiences are those without any known increased risk factors who might only need the risk reduction information provided in the prevention component.

Selective audiences are those who might have signs of increased risk for developing problems such as youth with truancy issues or family members of individuals with substance use problems.

Indicated groups are those already making high-risk alcohol or drug choices and who might be exhibiting signs of problems.
