Yes. Schools and youth-serving organizations across the US are successfully implementing Prevention Plus Wellness (PPW) programs for youth who break school substance use policies.
Here is a recent communication from one such provider.
“The mandatory (PPW) class for any students found in possession of or under the influence of tobacco, vapes, alcohol, etc., has definitely caused a reduction in incidents on campus and the feedback from the students has been very positive! The students all seem to share gratitude for the education portion and all have committed to making better choices moving forward. They check in with the nurses regularly to update them on their progress regarding their personal goals.
We are extremely thankful to have implemented the program in our school district!
Thank you!”

In this situation, the school district chose to implement the Marijuana, Vaping and SPORT 3 PPW (3-lesson alcohol, marijuana and e-cigarette prevention) programs to high school and middle school youth found possessing or using substances.
