Welcome to ALERT Labs, Inc. - A 2004 "Model Program" of the U.S. Department of Education
Alert Labs is a nonprofit organization focused on preventing underage drinking and adult heavy drinking. ALERT also works for the prevention of illegal drug and illegal use of over the counter and prescription medicine use.
ALERT stands for "Alcohol (and other drugs) Laboratories for Education, Research and Training."
ALERT provides evidence-based, "Social Norms" focused prevention programming and "restorative" brief interventions in high school and college settings, or with other organizations serving adolescents.
Through partnerships with community coalitions, universities, high schools, recovery groups and treatment centers, we strive to help those who have or are at-risk of developing substance use disorders. Most of our work is provided free to public and nonprofit groups as a result of our success in obtaining local, state, and federal grants.
NOTE: We can consult with your organization to provide surveys, posters and programs to develop an effective, comprehensive prevention program. ALERT's program and materials have been tested and statistically proven to reduce youth use of alcohol and other drugs in both college and high school settings.
