The main objective of Project Prevention is to reduce
the number of substance exposed births to zero.
In doing so, Project Prevention seeks to reduce the
burden of this social problem on taxpayers, trim down
social worker caseloads, and alleviate from our clients
the burden of having children that will potentially
be taken away.
Unlike incarceration, Project Prevention extremely
cost effective and does not punish the participants.
We seek and welcome alliances with all sectors of our
communities including drug treatment programs, hospitals,
social service departments, among others, and have established
such contacts throughout the United States.
Project Prevention does not have the resources to combat
the national problems of poverty, housing, nutrition,
education and rehabilitation services. Those resources
we do have are spent entirely on reducing the number
of substance-exposed births to zero.
While there are substance exposed children that have
only minor problems, or no problems at all, there are
those that suffer tremendously from being passed their
mother's addiction. Read some of the stories of these
victims.
