Regional Prevention Center
The Kentucky River Regional Prevention Center (RPC) plans and promotes comprehensive substance use/abuse, suicide, violence, bullying, and homelessness prevention services in its eight-county region, and promotes mental health.
What We Provide
The RPC employs three Certified Prevention Specialists. Our staff assists individuals and groups in developing prevention programs that will encourage healthy choices about alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. Our prevention specialists also provide presentations, education and training programs, and information on substance use/abuse, suicide, violence, bullying, homelessness, and mental health, as well as consultation services.
Our primary objective is to empower communities to implement policies at the local level that will have a positive and lasting effect on the community environment, thereby reducing the harmful consequences of the illegal use and abuse of substances.
We provide an array of coordinated services to accomplish our mission, including:
Regional Alcohol & Drug Information Services

Community Prevention Coalitions
Prevention coalitions increase public awareness and involvement in alcohol and drug prevention programming. The RPC operates 12 coalitions in our eight counties. We encourage the public to attend and be involved with our coalitions.
