After years of research and development, Long Island P.R.E.P provides its industry-leading programs to address substance abuse and mental health awareness among children and teens.
Through our “Three Pillars Of Action” plan, we’ve developed a deeper systems approach, integrating our cornerstone ideology to provide:
K-12 substance abuse prevention education for students in school.
Professional development and community awareness for educators, parents and professionals in your community.
Data-driven, student-centered action intervention plans when it is discovered that a child is using drugs.
We want to partner with you and bring these programs to your schools and communities.
The old way is not working, a new, all-encompassing approach to protect our children from the dangers of substance abuse and addiction is not only long overdue but necessary.

“Long Island Prep has been an amazing resource in both a classroom setting and administrative setting. I have seen some incredible results when using it as an intervention resource with students that have struggled with substance issues and wanted to be involved in cessation groups to give the tools to make better choices. In a classroom setting, I was able to implement LI Prep as a preventative measure by educating and building self-awareness, setting goals, and building confidence in students.”
