Welcome to the national website of the Centers for the Application of Prevention Technologies (CAPTs). The CAPTs are regional technical assistance providers for the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), an agency of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). CSAP and the CAPTs are integral supporters of SAMHSA's mission to create a life in the community for everyone.

The CAPTs assist States/Jurisdictions and community-based organizations in the application of evidence-based substance abuse prevention programs, practices, and policies. The CAPT system is a practical tool to increase the impact of the knowledge and experience that defines what works best in prevention programming.

Although you will likely focus on the CAPT region of your residence and interest, other prevention resources are available throughout the site.
