Cost-Effective, Easy to Implement & Wide Reaching
We understand that substance abuse and health providers are looking for the most effective way to spend their funds. Prevention Plus Wellness (PPW) programs have a high cost-benefit ratio, plus they are easy to implement by just reading the program script.
