The President’s six drug control policy priorities are:
- Reduce the Number of Overdose Fatalities, with a Focus on Fentanyl
- Secure the Global Supply Chain Against Drug Trafficking
- Stop the Flow of Drugs Across Our Borders and Into Our Communities
- Prevent Drug Use Before It Starts

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) supports states, territories, tribes, and communities to ensure that credentialed prevention staff can deliver services with a comprehensive understanding of prevention and the latest evidence-based practices addressing substance use prevention.
In 2013, the founders of Prevention Training Services saw a need for quality training using subject matter experts in order to ensure the established standards of the profession are upheld. Prevention Training Services was created out of this need to help develop a more competent workforce by teaching the specialized knowledge required of the substance use disorder prevention professional. Training topics are aligned with the standards set forth by the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium, the globally recognized resource for prevention, treatment and recovery credentialing.
Thank you for helping us fulfill our mission of developing a more competent workforce by teaching skills to Prevention Specialist across the world. Since 2019 we have trained 1,318 individuals from 30 states, Washington D.C., Guam, Bermuda and members of the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Reservation in Montana.
