Project SUCCESS (Schools Using Coordinated Community Efforts to Strengthen Students) is a national model program that has been proven effective in preventing and reducing teen substance use. Project SUCCESS is a school-based program that works to reduce the factors that put students at risk for substance abuse, while working to enhance the factors that will protect students from the risks. This is accomplished by placing highly trained counselors in schools to provide a full range of substance use prevention and early intervention services. Strategies include:
