Alternatives for Youth

The National Alliance for Drug Endangered Children is a nationwide organization based in Westminster, CO that aims to address the impact of substance misuse on children and families. They provide help, hope, and support by organizing and training multidisciplinary teams of professionals, known as DEC Alliances, at various levels. Their trauma-informed approach focuses on raising awareness, identifying those affected, and providing appropriate intervention and services to break generational cycles of substance misuse and improve community well-being. The National Alliance for Drug Endangered Children offers training programs, resources, and tools to build awareness and promote best practices in addressing substance misuse risks. By collaborating and leveraging resources, they strive to create safe and nurturing environments for drug endangered children, free from abuse and neglect. Their mission is to make a difference in the lives of children, families, and communities by working together and implementing the DEC Approach.Generated from the website
