Prevention
The objective of primary prevention is to protect
the individual in order to avoid problems prior to signs or symptoms of
problems. It also includes those activities, programs, and practices that
operate on a fundamentally non-personal basis and to alter the set of
opportunities, risks, and expectations surrounding individuals. Secondary
prevention identifies persons in the early stages of problem behaviors
associated with alcohol and other drugs and attempts to avert the ensuing
negative consequences by inducing them to cease their use through counseling or
treatment. It is often referred to as early intervention. Tertiary prevention
strives to end compulsive use of alcohol or other drugs an/or to ameliorate
their negative effects through treatment and rehabilitation. This is most often
referred to as treatment but also includes rehabilitation and relapse
prevention.
Prevention Approaches
There are three main
methods of prevention service delivery: Universal, Targeted and Indicated.
Universal: Addresses the entire population with messages and programs aimed at
preventing or delaying problem behaviors. Targeted: Selecting subsets of the
total population that are assessed as at risk for problem behaviors by virtue
of their membership to a particular population segment. Indicated: Identify
individuals who are exhibiting early signs of problem behavior(s) and target
them with special programs to prevent further onset of difficulties.
