Abstract
The opioid crisis continues to devastate communities across the globe, particularly affecting youth and young adults. Early intervention strategies are crucial in preventing substance use and reducing the risk of long term addiction. This paper explores the role of diversion programs and youth prevention initiatives in combating opioid misuse. By focusing on diversion tactics that offer alternatives to incarceration and implementing preventive education, communities can reduce the impact of opioids and break the cycle of addiction. The article highlights successful programs and partnerships that demonstrate how early intervention strategies can mitigate the risk factors that lead to substance abuse. Additionally, it examines the importance of involving schools, families, and local organizations to foster a collective approach to prevention.
