Stop Addiction Before It Starts
A Parent-Powered Movement to Protect Teens & Young Adults
Every day in America, over 300 young people die from drug overdoses.Most families never saw it coming.
Substance use today doesn’t look like it used to.It looks like:
Vapes in backpacks
Gummies at parties
ADHD meds shared in school
Pills bought on Snapchat
Fentanyl hiding in everything
Most parents believe their child is safe — until they aren’t.
We exist to stop addiction before it becomes a medical crisis.
The Truth Parents Aren’t Being Told
1 in 3 young adults uses illicit drugs each year
The brain is still developing until age 25
Early drug use permanently rewires stress, impulse control, and emotions
Most addictions begin in adolescence
This is not about bad kids.This is about unprotected brains.
What We Do
We provide early-intervention, prevention, and recovery support for teens and young adults — before they end up in ERs, jails, or rehab.
Our Programs Include:
✔ Parent education & coaching✔ Youth substance-use prevention✔ Non-clinical recovery coaching✔ Family support✔ Life-skills rebuilding✔ Relapse prevention✔ School & community outreach
We bridge the gap between “something feels wrong” and “it’s too late.”
Why Recovery Coaching Works
Most teens don’t need rehab — they need:
Structure
Accountability
Emotional regulation skills
Someone who understands addiction
Support without shame
Our non-clinical recovery coaching helps young people:
