SUPE is one of the most comprehensive online
drug education and prevention resource.
SUPE is a group of people with over 50 years of combined experience in substance use and education. We have helped people with substance use disorder for decades. By educating people, we would not have to get them treatment. But most importantly, they would have a better future because most people with a substance problem do not have any future.
SUPE: Substance Use Prevention Education is a comprehensive drug education platform for individuals of all ages. It has helpful articles and engaging videos in eight different categories for kids, teens, parents, teachers, and more. We accompany this educational content with tailored school programs designed by education professionals.
Available in both English and Spanish, SUPE is committed to expanding its language offerings, ensuring that people across different regions and countries can access vital information about substance abuse. Importantly, all the resources provided by SUPE are entirely free of charge. The platform actively encourages suggestions and feedback to continuously enhance its quality and effectiveness in providing top-notch drug education.
Our motto is Live a Drug-Free Life! Come Learn with SUPE!
Take your prevention education wherever you go. The SUPE app puts every lesson, video, and article in your pocket, free for students, parents, and teachers alike. Lessons are age-appropriate for 6-9, 10-14, and 15+ year olds, covering topics like alcohol, marijuana, opioids, and peer pressure, all built on peer-reviewed science rather than scare tactics.
Whether you’re a student learning at your own pace, a parent looking to start a conversation, or a teacher building a lesson plan, the app makes it easy to find the right content for the right age group, anytime, anywhere.

Learning about drug prevention
Our school program doesn’t focus on telling students what to do. Instead, we believe that children are most successful when they are given accurate information, practical tools, and the opportunity to develop their own judgment. Our goal is not to dictate behavior, but to equip students with the knowledge and self-assurance they need to make safe, healthy decisions throughout their teenage years and beyond.
We base our results on the feedback we got directly from 4900+ students.
73%
said they would definitely not drink during their teenage years.
96%
said they are less likely to use marijuana or would not consider using it at all.
81%
said they are less likely to vape or would not consider vaping at all.
Over the last decade, we realized that the problem with substances has changed. Kids start experimenting at a younger age, and drugs are more potent than ever. Marijuana saw a potency increase of 300% since the 90s. Fentanyl is 50-100 times more potent than morphine. There are more and more unusual solutions to solve this rampant problem.
When someone has a problem with drugs or alcohol, it can take months to get them willing to get help. Treatment can take even longer, and often one will have to go through several programs. The time and effort to rehabilitate someone are tremendous, but worse than that, some people do not make it. It is not uncommon for decisions made under the influence of drugs and alcohol to dramatically change a person’s life.
We believe education is the best way to reduce the number of people needing treatment. This is why we created SUPE, Substance Use Prevention, and Education, so everyone can learn about the dangers of drugs and how to help those who may be affected by substance use.
With the help of our articles and videos, anyone can learn important information within an hour or two. This can help prevent someone from using substances and going through months of treatment, but most importantly, it can help save lives. We put together a video presentation to give you an overview of SUPE.
