The Partnership at Drugfree.org is a nonprofit organization that helps parents prevent, intervene in and find treatment for drug and alcohol use by their children.

By bringing together renowned scientists, parent experts and communications professionals, we not only translate current research on teen behavior, addiction and treatment into easy to understand, actionable resources at drugfree.org, but we offer hope and help to the parents of the 11 million teens and young adults who need help with drugs and alcohol.

Expanding on our prevention efforts in 2010, we launched a major new initiative to help parents understand and navigate adolescent drug and alcohol treatment when their child is struggling with addiction. Time To Get Help is a first-of-its-kind website and online community that provides parents of teens and young adults with lifesaving information and comprehensive insight into intervention and treatment options, dependence and addiction; support from top experts and other parents who have been there.

Visitors to drugfree.org will find resources to help them at whatever their stage of need:
• Prevent -- for parents who need help talking with their kids and offers tips and tools promoting effective parent/child communication about preventing substance abuse in their families
• Intervene -- offers step-by-step guides for parents who believe or are certain their teens are using drugs or drinking and need to know what to do
• Get Treatment -- comprehensive web resources, featuring treatment support and expert guidance for parents of a child who is struggling with addiction
• Recover -- includes ongoing assistance for those who are living in recovery and their families
• We also reach local families through our community education programs, now in more than 24 states across the nation, including PACT360, which focuses on issues of concern for parents, youth and the Hispanic community.
