Prevention Works. Recovery Happens. Make a Difference for Saratoga’s Youth!
Recent research has shown that for each dollar invested in evidence-based prevention programs, between $2 and $30 can be saved in substance treatment costs, which have risen to $193 billion annually in the United States alone. (Source: The Office of National Drug Control Policy) As always your support and willingness to get involved helps us continue to provide high-quality outreach, collaboration and hands-on services to youth, families, schools, and community organizations throughout Saratoga County.
At Healing Springs Recovery Center, individuals and families can receive services such as peer-led addiction and recovery support groups; family support and resources; life skills training; linkage with community resources; health and wellness activities; community service opportunities; and education and vocational services. Nearly all services are FREE. Healing Springs is supported by NYS OASAS and is a program of The Prevention Council of Saratoga County. Since we opened in 2017, hundreds of individuals and families have found support and resources. We are creating a recovery community!
Unrestricted gifts to the Prevention Council are put to use to empower Saratoga County students and their families, below is a sampling of some of the work we are able to do:
- $125 provides one week of All Stars (youth empowerment) camp for a child transitioning to middle school
- $250 enables a person in recovery to participate in Certified Peer Advocate Training (CRPA) and help others
- $200 transportation for SADD (students against destructive decisions) club from a Saratoga based High School to participate in student leadership conference
- $500 3 risk and responsibility classes for 30 students addressing bullying, suicide and substance abuse prevention
- $1000 an assembly for 500 high school students and parents addressing bullying, suicide and substance abuse prevention
- $8000 a counselor 1 day a week in a local school providing 225 counseling sessions during the school year for a student in need
Together we CAN help our community. Donate, and see your dollars at work.
