Educational Programs 

CLEAN, Inc. provides educational and skills-building classes to help parents guide their children through the adolescent passage with positive ways to set limits and communicate effectively.  We also offer a variety of programs to assist youth in making positive life choices. The goal of our family programs is to decrease risk factors that lead to problem behaviors (substance abuse, teen pregnancy, school dropout, violence, delinquency) and to increase protective factors in the family and community.


Alcohol & Drug Education
