(Substance & Alcohol Use Prevention & Rehabilitation)

This remains Prince Jim Shepherd Nadiope Foundation’s major strategic offering and focuses on improving access to quality services for people affected by Mental Health, Neurological, and Substance Use Disorders. It aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 3 which advocates for Good Health and well-being. Our work under this objective covers both non-specialized and specialized mental health and psychosocial support services/interventions in schools and the community at large. Many victims of substance misuse can leave or change their unhealthy behavior with the help of family and professional rehab support.

Prince Jim Shepherd Nadiope Foundation therapy uses a combination of behavioral and cognitive approaches in providing effective recovery from addiction. We believe in a client-centered model of therapy that involves meeting with the victims to ensure their specific needs are addressed.

Why We Care About Prevention

Given the impact of substance misuse, it is critical to prevent its full spectrum from start and identify victims for early intervention.

We conduct Evidence-based prevention interventions because they delay early drug use and stop the progression from use to addiction, all of which are associated with costly individual, social, economic and public health consequences.

Negative health and social problems associated with substance misuse:

  • Mental disorders
  • Heart disease
  • Stroke
  • High blood pressure 
  • Sexual misconduct
  • Crime
  • Neonatal abstinence syndrome 
  • Hangovers
  • Blackouts
  • Stomach problems
  • Various cancers
  • Memory loss

Our Prevention Interventions

We concurrently use three categories of prevention interventions: universal, selective, and indicated aimed at reaching out to the entire population.

  • Universal Prevention Intervention – We universally attempt to reduce a variety of risk factors by advocating for policies like; setting minimum legal drinking age, reducing the availability of substances in the community, and reducing hours and days of alcohol sales.
  • Selective Interventions – We run specialized prevention programs and campaigns on selected communities, families, or individuals who are at increased risk of substance misuse problems due to their exposure to risk factors.
  • Indicated Interventions – We provide remedies to those who are already victims of substance/alcohol misuse or are beginning to have problems due to substance misuse. We provide intensive therapies to limit negative consequences.
