Project Prevention

Project Prevention is a nonprofit organization that pays drug addicts and alcoholics $300 to use long-term birth control. Our objective is raising public awareness of the problem of addicts/alcoholics exposing their unborn child to drugs during pregnancy. We seek to reduce taxpayers' burden of this social problem, trim down social worker caseloads, and alleviate our clients' burden of having children that will potentially be taken away. Unlike incarceration, our program is extremely cost-effective and does not punish the participants.

Project Prevention does not have the resources to combat the national problems of poverty, housing, nutrition, education, and rehabilitation services. The resources we do have are spent to PREVENT a problem for $300 rather than paying millions after it happens to care for a potentially damaged child. We seek and welcome alliances with all sectors of our communities including drug treatment programs, hospitals, and social service departments and have established such contacts throughout the United States.
