Program Description

The State Chemical Abuse Prevention Program is similar to the Safe and Drug Free Schools Program (Title IV), but is funded by the State of Arizona. The goal of the program is to provide assistance to schools that implement programs designed to prevent student substance use.

Instruction on the nature and harmful effects of alcohol, tobacco, narcotic drugs, and marijuana, including instruction on laws related to the control of these substances, may be integrated into existing curriculum. Technical assistance and training is also provided through ADE.

Use of Funds
Funds may be used to purchase research-based, age appropriate curriculum, teacher training, program evaluation, and other activities promoted a comprehensive effort to prevent and/or decrease substance use among youth.
