Western New York United Against Drug and Alcohol Abuse is a grassroots initiative designed to increase awareness, educate and mobilize individuals to actively, undertake proven strategies to prevent substance abuse. WNY United is your prevention connection. We provide schools and communities with the tools necessary to prevent the abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and other dangerous drugs.

February 9, 2010











The abuse of alcohol and other drugs is a serious social problem that erodes the overall health of our general population, increases crime and violence, disrupts personal and family relationships, hurts academic performance in schools, increases accident and suicide rates, and takes a heavy toll on the nation’s economy in lost productivity and absenteeism in the workplace.

The only cost-effective solution to the complex web of problems caused by alcohol and other drug abuse is PREVENTION, a proactive process to keep healthy people healthy and bolster those at risk. WNY United has been providing high quality prevention programs to the western region of New York State since 1986.
