ChaRosa Foundation On The Go

Substance Abuse Prevention Program

Drug abuse is using drugs in a way that harms you or that leads you to harm others. You can abuse illegal drugs, prescription drugs, or over-the-counter drugs.

When you abuse drugs, you are not always able to meet work, home, or school duties. You may be late to work. You may use drugs in dangerous situations, such as when driving or operating machines, or drugs may cause problems in your relationships.


The ChaRosa Foundation provides individual and family counseling, educational workshops, and substance abuse courses for youth ages 14 to 21. Advocacy is available to assist families involved in, or at risk of becoming involved in, substance abuse situations.


Substances typically targeted by preventive efforts include alcohol (including binge drinking, drunkenness, and driving under the influence), tobacco (including cigarettes and various forms of smokeless tobacco), marijuana, inhalants (volatile solvents including glue, gasoline, aerosols, ether, fumes from white out and marking pens), cocaine (including crack cocaine), methamphetamines, steroids, club drugs (such as Ecstacy), and opioids.

Learn about the risks of substance abuse before it's too late.
