At RIZE Prevention, we have a clear purpose: to tackle the pressing issue of drug use and addiction among young teens and their families across Greenville, SC, and the Upstate. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, our driving force is an unwavering commitment to early intervention.
Every program we offer is meticulously shaped by the latest insights from prevention science research. We utilize an evidence-informed approach to provide comprehensive drug prevention programs that encompass all crucial aspects of youth development.
At RIZE, we take pride in:
Inspiring and empowering students to resist drug use while encouraging healthy lifestyle choices.
Providing unwavering support to students, ensuring they are motivated and ready to embrace the path of learning.
Every teen – lives free from drug use and addiction.
Rooted in years of experience in substance use prevention, RIZE Prevention stands as a testament to unwavering dedication. Our foundation is built upon the provision of prevention and early intervention programs that directly address the urgent need to combat drug use and addiction among young adolescents and their families.
In this endeavor, we leverage the most recent advancements in intervention science to yield a tangible and meaningful impact. By equipping our efforts with the latest data and research, we strive to create a safer and healthier environment for the generations to come.
Our programs go beyond one-time motivational speeches. We offer comprehensive, long-term approaches that foster lasting and meaningful change in young lives.
We are committed to shifting away from passive compliance. We are changing the conversation around substance use prevention to drive real, measurable impact rather than just filling a requirement.
At RIZE, we understand that early prevention equals crisis aversion. Our unique approach focuses on tackling substance use issues at their roots—addressing mental health and peer pressure—to prevent future crises before they begin.
Prioritizing prevention is crucial to changing the trajectory of addiction in the United States. Without immediate action, the state of addiction is projected to become unsustainable.
The Urgent Reality:
Overdose Crisis: In 2022, the nation witnessed a staggering 109,680 deaths due to drug overdoses.
The Treatment Gap: In 2020, 40 million individuals in the U.S. needed substance abuse help, yet only 4 million actually received treatment.
For students and teens, these numbers represent real lives. We must act now to reverse these trends.
