Cabell County Substance Abuse Prevention Partnership (CCSAPP)

The Cabell County Substance Abuse Prevention Partnership (CCSAPP) is a coalition of various agencies, organizations and individuals working together to reduce local substance abuse with strong collaborative partnerships and community ownership, using awareness, education and community-wide solutions. CCSAPP is primarily funded by the federal Drug Free Communities Support Program and a subgrant of the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant administered through the WV Division of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse. Additional funding is provided by United Way of the River Cities. CCSAPP conducts monthly public meetings on the third Wednesday of every month at noon at United Way of the River Cities.

Why Prevention?    The social, health and criminal consequences of substance abuse are costly to the community, devastating to families, and highly preventable. Research shows that prevention efforts comprising multiple strategies throughout a community can reduce substance abuse in that community.  CCSAPP works to raise community awareness; provide substance abuse prevention education; increase community access to substance abuse prevention information and promote efforts to decrease risk factors and increase protective factors for Cabell County youth.
