Mission

As an organization, our vision is to create effective, proven solutions to one of the biggest crises affecting our state and country today- substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders among youth. 3 out of 10 middle school students and 8 out of 10 high school students have used substances at some time in their lives. 90% of adults with a reported substance use disorder began experimenting with nicotine, drugs, or alcohol before the age of 15. Data from CDC?s National Center for Health Statistics (2024): 15% of high school students reported having ever used select illicit or injection drugs, such as cocaine, inhalants, heroin, methamphetamines, hallucinogens, or ecstasy. 14% of students reported misusing prescription opioids. Injection drug use places youth at direct risk for HIV, and drug use places youth at risk of overdose. Youth opioid use is directly linked to sexual risk behaviors. 10.9% of eighth graders, 19.8% of 10th graders, and 31.2% of 12th graders reported any il

We provide the iRIZE program, which is an evidence-based approach to primary and secondary prevention for youth. iRIZE was built on our innovative, signature prevention methodology and comprehensive relational system of care model. We provide iRIZE free of charge to middle schools in South Carolina, thanks to grants and donations we receive for this program. We have one year remaining in a 4-year pilot study, conducted in collaboration with SC Department of Education and school districts in Upstate SC, to test the efficacy of our evidence-informed approach and our implementation of evidence-based drug prevention programming and peer led social norm interventions. This 4-month program serves students in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades. Access to our CCFC resource tool is given to all students, parents and school staff associated with those schools. We also provide portions of our iRIZE program, along with all our support resources and services to high school students, parents and college students, via high schools, houses of worship and community organizations. During the 2024-25 academic year, RIZE Prevention provided the iRIZE program to 18 middle schools and conducted over 40 program presentations for approximately 7,900 students, parents and school staff. 76% of 6th graders who received our iRIZE program signed the iRIZE Pledge to be drug-free. 81% of 7th graders who received the second year installation of our program signed the pledge. 64% of 8th graders who received the third year of our program signed the pledge. We also provide one-on-one coaching to teens, regardless of if they attend a school that receives our iRIZE program. This coaching is administered through our staff members, each of who are IAAMC certified through The Addictions Academy. During the 2024-25 academic year, we coached over 25 teens, 80% of who chose to remain sober and refrain from drug usage after completing the coaching program. We also connected multiple youth to outside clinical resources to address substance use and/or co-occurring mental health disorders.

We also present our ?RIZE Up! Live Drug-Free.? iRIZE presentation and Power Collective Opioid and Fentanyl Prevention presentation to high schools and to teens and their parents at houses of worship and community centers. This presentation focuses on the iRIZE program philosophy and is sometimes delivered in partnership with local community resource providers, local law enforcement and national law enforcement. These presentations are provided free of charge and is funded by specified donations and grants received by RIZE Prevention. Access to our CCFC resource tool is given to everyone who attends, as well as to the entire Upstate community. We also launched a new workshop designed to educate parents about the teenage brain, effects of substance use on the developing brain, and teaching the principles and skills of parental co-regulation. The total number of attendees for these presentations was approximately 2,750 people.
