Substance Misuse Prevention

Overview

HCCA works in the community to create environmental, policy, and systems changes to reduce alcohol and substance misuse in Kennebec and Somerset County. There is no one solution to preventing substance abuse; prevention happens in many ways through working with many community partners. HCCA, along with its Drug Free Communities coalition, Gardiner Area Thrives (GAT) and  the Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention (ASAP) collaborates with community partners to create programs and efforts that focus on four concepts linked to preventing substance abuse.
